Hancock & Moore Leather Grades - newbie confusion

[Robby]

Hi everyone,

I just joined this forum. I found it doing reasearch on hancock & moore leather furniture. I have been looking at both posts on this forum, and the h&m website and have a couple questions. What is the real difference between the class numbers they use for their different grades of leathers? Is it the thickness, top grain versus split grain, , overall quality of the leather selected for a certain class number? I'm confused. Secondly, can anyone give me a cost range for the different class numbers in either dollars or percentages. Like a class2 is $x- $xx more or x%-xx% more than a class whatever? Thanks for any and all help with my questions.

Correct, 'Grades' are pricing categories, only. On average:

GR 1 to 2: 11 %
2 to 3: 11 %
3 to 4: 11 %
4 to 5: 12 %

The leather descriptions guide can help you choose between leathers based upon softness, special effects, surface grain, serviceability, and Duane's picks.

Aaron, to request a quote from Duane do I send email through the "Keeping Room". I'm sure this is a stupid so forgive me in advance.
