The fabric is not waterproof, but splash-proof, so it performs well in covered patios or conservatory environments. Thanks to its high wear resistance and easy cleaning, Pilot Leather is perfect for environments where intensive use and a sleek, professional appearance come together.

Process with a Microtex needle

For best results, process Pilot Leather with a Microtex needle (70/10 or 80/12). Use sharp fabric scissors or a leather knife for clean edges and finish seams with strong sewing thread for a professional result. A stretch foot and a serger or coverlock ensure neat, durable stitching.

Inspiration and styling

Pilot Leather is available in warm and neutral tones such as anthracite, caramel and wood, but also in fresh colors such as sand and fungi. Combine dark colors with light furniture profiles for a modern contrast, or go for tonal upholstery for a calm, minimalist look. Think of upholstered bar chairs, sleek wall panels or striking cushions with relief stitching.
