Alberta Harness

[jeffmb]

I have seen H+M recliners in Alberta Harness that I like. Would like to pair with 2 Westwood sofas. Looking for a class 1(preferred) or class 2 leather to do the sofas in that would match the Alberta Harness. I'd do all in the Alberta but it appears it is only available on certain pieces. All pieces would be in close proximity to one another. Would consider doing all in a class 1 that was close in color to the Alberta Harness.

I would not recommend you try to find a leather to match Alberta as you will see a noticeable difference. Alberta is a cut and sewn leather only- and quite honestly not a very attractive hide. I don't sell it except by special request and its only available on a few recliners. It's being phased out. You will be far happier in the long run (remember this furniture lasts a long time) to get them all in the same leather. The few hundred dollars you save will not seem worth it over a twenty year plus lifespan of the pieces.

If you have to do that plan, then look at the Documents.

My sister has two chairs in the Alberta Harness and I like them. I agree about the document. I put an Alberta Harness chair next to a Document Copper and they were VERY close in color. I'm just a bit concerned with the mottled look the documents seem to have.

What about all in Columbia Coffee or Columbia Butternut? Are they similar in color to the Alberta Harness? It's hard to tell looking at the leather samples on H+M website.

Not really...document is your best bet

Thanks. No other class 2 that's brown with a hint of red?

Good morning. Have you already looked thru these on the Hancock & Moore site? Some of the leathers look like they have a reddish hue to them. Good luck.

Have I ever! I found about a half dozen that I thought might work but when I saw the actual swatches in person they were either solid browns or far too red. Narrowed it down to Document Copper or Columbia Coffee. Leaning towards the Document. It looks a little more interesting.
