COMMON LEATHER TYPES

Full Grain Leather
Full grain leathers are made from the outer of the cowhide and are natural and earthy in appearance. Most Rivers leathers are naturally tanned and finished.

Milled or "Floater" Leather
This is a full grain, naturally drum dyed leather, of approximately 2.2mm thickness. Once it has been completely finished, it is put into a "dry drum," with no chemicals and tumbled to soften the fibres within the skins. This is known as "dry drum tumbling" and is an old tanning technique. The tumbling softens the leather and gives it a "milled" effect, which is seen as patterns in the leather. Due to the process, and the natural diversity of skins, there can be variations in the milling effect of the leather. 90% may be fine, but sometimes the milled effect is not as strong. This is completely natural and shows the pureness of the leather being used.

This type of leather is extremely pure, natural leather, and the pattern effect has not been printed. It is strong, durable, soft and very flexible, while looking rugged.

"Glove" Leather
This is an extremely soft, flexible lightweight leather. It has been produced for Rivers to give the wearer greater comfort in a dress shoe. It is a natural drum dyed full grain leather, slightly thinner than normal (1.4-1.6 mm) which makes it a thinner, lighter weight leather, that has all the properties of the thicker leather. It is as strong and durable as the normal leather Rivers use. It has been dry drum tumbled, but for a short period of time which ensures the super soft silky feel and the main benefit is the comfort that it provides the wearer.

Suede
Suede is the back, or inside cut, of the cowhide and is therefore cheaper than normal "full grain" leather . Suede is more susceptible to staining and tearing than other leathers. Rivers have very few styles in suede. To get this appearance, the leather is split, so this process is often referred to as suede split.

Nubuck/Roebuck
Nubuck is the full grain front of the cowhide that has been "snuffed" or sanded on the surface to produce the peach finish similar to suede. Roebuck is also the full grain outer of the skin that has been "snuffed" or sanded similar to nubuck, though not as heavy. It is then re-oiled which makes it more earthy in appearance and a better wearing leather for the Australian lifestyle.

Oil or Waxy Leather
These leathers have a high fat/oil content, which makes the leather soft and supple and more water resistant. Rivers typically use leather with a 12% fat/oil content, unless the shoes are of a stitched or moccasin construction, when the content can be up to 25%.

Aniline Leather
This is the description used for pure leather and the slight variation in colour caused by the hair follicles in the hide picking up dye at a different rate than the surrounding skin.
