Aviation-Grade Leather Hides – Direct from Aircraft Manufacturers - $1 (Baltimore)
QR Code Link to This Post
I’m a former aviation upholsterer now running a small, family-owned company specializing in surplus aviation-grade leather. We source directly from aircraft manufacturers and offer it at a fraction of the typical cost.
👉 Our Price: $6.25 per sq ft
(Comparable leather typically retails for $18–$28 per sq ft)
Each hide is factory-rolled on bolts to ensure it arrives in pristine condition—no wrinkles or creases. These are premium European hides, averaging 55–60 sq ft each.
Brands we carry:
* Townsend Leather
* Garrett Leather
* Moore & Giles
* Aeristo
* Perrone Aerospace
Leather Details:
* Aniline dyed
* Full and top grain
* Approx. 1.0–1.3 mm thickness
* Meets FAR 25.853 requirements
* AS9100D compliant materials
* Flame-treated / fire-retardant
* Italian, German, and Eastern European origin
Burn Testing:
We work with a local lab to provide burn certs for logbook compliance when needed.
* $125 per dye lot
* Free burn cert when purchasing 10+ hides from the same dye lot
Inventory:
* 60+ colors in stock
* Matching dye lots available (up to 30 hides in select colors—ideal for full interiors and Part 135 projects)
Why buy from us:
Most customers save 70% or more compared to buying through upholstery shops. For example, a Cessna 182 owner can save around $4,000+ on leather for a full interior.
This is the same trade-only leather used in private jets—softer, more breathable, and cooler to the touch than typical automotive leather.
Who we work with:
* Aircraft owners (private & commercial)
* Upholstery shops (aviation, automotive, marine, furniture)
* Designers and restorers
If you’re looking to avoid shop markups and still use top-tier materials, we can help you do it.
