I am considering a new Hancock and Moore recliner. As I read about the type of leather it looked to me like the aniline with a protective finish might be a good option. I have had pure aniline and did a very poor job of cleaning the leather where my head rested and had a rather dark stain that looked not so good. I now know the need to clean all leathers but tend to thing that some protective treatment might be useful. When I tried to find the H&M semi-aniline leathers I found Class 2 leathers but it appears that all are from China. We are looking for a pale tan type leather and found some in the Class 2 category but wonder if China leather is as good as others? Any suggestions as to the type and whether we should avoid the leather from China or, for that matter, any other thoughts
