Extreme heat and cold can damage ordinary leather, often hardening and shrinking this natural material. Extensive research, development and testing capabilities are the foundation for Eagle Ottawa's shrink-optimized, low-fogging instrument panel and door panel leather. With less than 5% shrinkage and a virtually defect-free surface, ours is the best in the industry - perfect for adding the softness and luxurious appeal of natural top-quality leather. And it's always chrome-free, so it is easily recyclable. As with all our products, Eagle Ottawa shrink-optimized leather meets all OEM material specifications, with custom lightfast colors and the signature aromas that are hallmarks of Eagle Ottawa automotive leather.
