H&M Sloane Sofa...Need Help Choosing Leather
Thinking of going with the H & M Sloane Sofa, but now I need help with the leather choices. Also, if anyone has this sofa I would love to hear from you.
I will list the leathers that I'm considering and anyone please feel free to give me your opinions on them. Class 3 is most likely my choice, but of course I would like for it to feel and look like a 4.
With the Sloane being tufted on the back I am just wondering if the thickness or thinness of the leather will be an issue in my decision making.
Antelope-Nugget
Equestrian-Truffle
Garfield-Mocha
Garfield-Sable
Upton Cafe
Capri- Tobacco
Forgot to mention, but I will be getting the Springfield Lounger in the same leather choice.
Thanks for any and all info.

Hi Duane,
Can you please confirm that this leather is really Garfield Mocha? It looks more like chestnut or fawn...Thanks!
Re: H&M Sloane Sofa...Need Help Choosing Leather
Yes it is. Garfield has some sheen to it, plus the color does vary from dye lot to dye lot. There's a fair amount of flash bounce on that photo as well. Here's a Garfield leather taken outside with no flash:

Re: H&M Sloane Sofa...Need Help Choosing Leather
I just recieved a cutting for approval from my dealer which is supposedly Garfield Mocha but I'm not sure it really is. I've read in this thread and elsewhere in the forum that Garfield colors can vary a good bit however the cutting I received doesn't have the sheen/gloss that I have seen in the pictures on this forum as well as the samples I have been sent prior. I am happy with the color I'm just concerned, given that I am truly a novice when it comes to judging quality hides, that either the H&M factory labled/sent the incorrect cutting or the dealer although unlikely sent me a leather similar but lower grade to Garfield to make a bigger profit. I will try to take a picture and upload it but I was curious what thoughts anyone might have one this? Thanks for any input anyone has. I just want to make sure I'm getting the leather that I m purchasing and not some cheaper grade like document.
