Kangaroo Leather Matte Red

Description: Kangaroo leather’s main claim to fame is that it is one of the strongest leathers at any given thickness, meaning it can remain very durable while feeling soft and supple. Typically, kangaroo leather is somewhat triangular in shape with the approximate following dimensions: Three feet long on all three sides of the triangle shapeApproximately 5-6 sq ft eachApproximately 0.7/0.9 mm thickness.Kangaroos are harvested from the wild versus farmed, so the quality ranges substantially. Since kangaroo leather is primarily used for footwear, PanAm Leathers assesses the quality of kangaroo hides based on the number of total boot vamp or shoe upper sets that each hide yields:Grade 1: At least three full sets and no defects on a center triangle measuring 3.5 feet long on all sidesGrade 2: At least three full sets Grade 3: At least two full setsGrade 4: At least one full setGrade 5: At least ½ set There are very few hides with holes in any grade. Common defects include scratches, scars and scrapes. The vast majority of kangaroo hides are grades 3-4 with some grade 5. There is very little grade 1 and 2 available. Since kangaroo hides rarely have holes, almost any grade can be used for products that don’t require a flawless surface or perhaps for an intentional look of wear and tear.
