kidskin
Fine glove material
Kidskin is soft, fine leather made from the hide of a young goat.
Valued for its suppleness and smooth texture, it's used for high-quality gloves, book bindings, and delicate garments: kidskin gloves, bound in kidskin.
The material takes dye well and has historically signified luxury and refinement.
