Goat & Cow Suede Leather used for garment manufacturing

Leather for Garment Manufacturers

Finished leather supplied for leather jackets, coats and fashion outerwear — manufactured and exported from Chennai, India.

Garment leather has to move with the body — it needs drape, a soft hand-feel, and a consistent surface across large panel sizes, since flaws are far more visible on a jacket back or coat panel than on a small accessory. That combination of softness and consistency is different from what footwear or leather goods manufacturing typically demands.

Reliance Exim supplies two of its leather ranges into garment manufacturing: Goat & Cow Suede Leather and Chrome Free Leather. Both are manufactured and exported from our facility in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and are supplied for leather jackets, fashion garments and luxury outerwear requiring drape and premium hand-feel.
