Description
A leather prepared from calfskin finished on the flesh side. Reverse calf is stuffed with oils to increase water-resistance, then buff to a suede-like finish. It was originally called trench calf in England, then later termed hunting calf because of its use for hunting clothing. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, reverse calf was used for ledger covers (Roberts and Eddington 1982).
