Premium Quality Cow Split Leather Rigger Gloves

What is split leather made from?
Split leather is produced from a top grain. It would be the second or sometimes third cut below the surface, is then heavily pigmented and embossed with an artificial grain texture. Split leather is created from the fibrous part of the hide left once the upper portion of the rawhide is separated from the hide.

A skin is divided into several layers over the entire surface, this process is called “Splitting”. Thicker leather, mostly cow leather, which is 5 to 10 millimeters thick, is split. The obtained layers are designated as grain split or top-grain split and flesh split.
