Re: Different Classes of Leather
Hi Duane! First, I'd like to say how much I appreciate your forum! I have learned quite a bit from reading through the posts, so a BIG THANK YOU! Question: In searching for the perfect HM sofa, I found this forum. The HM website does not classify the leathers into groups, ie: anilines vs finished. Is there another place to find this info? Our "local" HM dealer is not so local and I would like to find an aniline similar to Champion Bark. I am concerned Champion Bark leather will fail before the sofa itself. Also, we haven't actually seen/felt the Champion line leather on any piece, only the sample. I would appreciate any feedback you have if any. Thank you in advance!

Re: Different Classes of Leather
Actually they do classify on the H&M website when you go to LEATHERS. You can check the box to only show one or the other.
Protected = Finished
UnProtected = Aniline
Champion series leather is not going to fail, everything from H&M is Top Grain leather, it's a nice hide. Now you can destroy anything with hard or inappropriate use, but I would expect to get thirty years out of the cover in most households. Maybe more.
