The leather is aniline dyed and has a semi-transparent finish.

The qualty of the leather and service excellent
All products purchased from J Hewit & Sons have been of the highest quality and we are pleased with the service they offer. People are always friendly and go out of their way to try and help.
Fine looking quality skin without blemishes. Good skin for softcover book or Bible.
The grade 3 skins have occasional slight surface blemishes as should be expected, but are excellent products otherwise, especially at this price point. Very soft and strong leather, archival tannage... Top marks!
I ordered this at lunchtime, and it arrived after breakfast the next day! No interruption to my bookbinding activities, and the colour was just perfect.
I look forward to use my skins soon, as I will eventually use them no doubt. Regards Donald .
Arrived safely
This grade III leather is terrific, easily enough for 10 or so books. Lovely even colour, and unbelievably soft.
