JMT Leather

Made on better quality corrected grain hides and finished with a pigmented topcoat, which is lightly embossed with an artificial grain pattern. It has a smoother tighter grain finish than Shelly and offers good light fastness and stain resistance. Milano is a soft leather with excellent durability.

Cleaning: - a damp cloth and a pure mild soap solution will remove most stains. Care should be taken not to soak the leather. Do not use a detergent.
