As of January 2016, this is the Bradington Young leather line-up. This will change twice each year, as new leathers are added and others retired in conjunction with the Spring and Fall High Point Markets. Notice the ones in bold type are the new leathers, and mine just arrived last week from the Fall Market, so you can see there is a 5 to 6 month lag time from when new leathers are shown until the dealers get their swatches.
This will NOT show the married covers, just the mainstream leather lineup.

Duane,
I just happened to find a VERY detailed, description filled guide with the most accurate as you can get online photos of all of B&Y's current leathers. It's on Leather Shoppe's website & since they're a dealer, as you are & I have not seen this level of accuracy or detail regarding B&Y's leathers on B&Y's own website, I'm hesitant to link to it(I don't know if that's cool, or if it's a copyright issue, etc?)
Looking thru it & reading about each leather, how it's made, its color variations & what to expect in how it will age REALLY opened me up to several other options for my 543-25 chair!
Specifically, the new 9131 series of leathers released at fall market. They're anilines with mild to moderate pull up effects & will already have a bit of a worn & distressed look to them. I'll request samples later this afternoon.
Was I right in holding off on linking to that leather swatch descriptions & pics page? If you get a chance to look at it, I suggest you do. That's EXACTLY the kinda detailed info I was looking for regarding all the current leathers!

Sorta, there's also very sharp, detailed pictures of each hide within the series of each grade.

Duane,
Is BY 905500-83 still available?
The 9055 is still a current series, however the -83 colorway has been dropped and replaced with a -81 colorway, which will be lighter than the -83, more tan in color.
