FAQ - frequently asked questions

 

1. How thik is ecopell-nappa leather?

Between 1,1 - 1,6 mm, depending on the section of the cattle. Unfortunately it is not possible to say upfront how thick the piece will be that you will receive.

2. What is DIN-A-format? Why to the pre-cuts not match that format exactly?

DIN-A-format is a norm that is applied to paper in some countries:

DIN-format mm inches
A0 841 x 1189  33.1 x 46.8 
A1 594 x 841  23.4 x 33.1 
A2 420 x 594  16.5 x 23.4 
A3 297 x 420  11.7 x 16.5 
A4 210 x 297  8.3 x 11.7 
A5 148 x 210  5.8 x 8.3 
A6 105 x 148  4.1 x 5.8 
A7 74 x 105  2.9 x 4.1 
A8 52 x 74  2.05 x 2.9 
A9 37 x 52 1.46 x 2.05 
A10 26 x 37  1.02 x 1.46

Because the skin of cattle is not squared it is not possible to cut exactly this format. The skin does not come out of a machine because it is natural - not artificial.

The pieces being sold correpond to the area of the A-x-format. The lengths of both sides may vary.  The DIN-A*-format has been choosen because it is the easiest way to have quickly an idea about the proximate size of the leather that you purchase.
