Went to a talk by a well known Morgan trimmer, someone posed the question of different leather specs / quality
From memory his response was that hides are now 'split' into 3 layers during processing
Top layer with the natural hide grain is the best, second layer is treated & embossed to create a natural grain look, third layer are your basic shammy leathers for cleaning
Offcuts are treated, squished, glued & shaved into sheets with a composite backing, apparently favoured by Mercedes for cost
