Type P - Pigmented Leather - This is the most commonly available leather, Its pigments leather & has a uniform appearance and colour and a definite pattern (grain).
Type A - Aniline Leather Aniline leathers are top quality, soft natural leathers in which the actual surface grain markings of the true leather (hide) are visible. They have no protective treatments applied & are very soft and absorbent. Type A includes Pull Ups: There are two catoglories of pull up - Wax and Oil. Oil Pull ups are found on aniline leathers only, giving the leather a wet oil look and feel. The wax pull up finish can be applied over aniline or pigmented leather. This will leave a slick gloss feel and sheen to the surface of the leather.
Type N - Nubuck Leather -These are natural Aniline leathers that have been surface brushed or buffed on the grain side of the leather creating a nap and leaving a texture similar to velvet .
