SPLIT LEATHER
A cow hide can be up to 8 or 10 mm thick. To thin it down the hides are split in the sense of their thickness in two or more layers. The top layer with the grain being the outside on the animal is called top grain. The splits are the next layers underneath. Some split leather will be sold as suede leather, some will be covered with synthetic material imitating the pores and small wrinkles of the grain side. Legally they can be sold as genuine leather as long as ⅔ of the thickness is leather.
