Softness
Softness is measured based on how much distance the leather article stretches. The longer the distance, the softer the leather. The value reported indicates the hand feel of the leather on a range from very soft to very stiff.
Evolved Leather ID (ELI) is a revolutionary profiling system for premium leather. It allows you to create unique IDs based on the leather qualities you’re looking for and quickly find other articles with the same ELI. Evolved Leather ID is quickly becoming a new global industry standard.
To determine performance metrics such as CFR, breathability, flexibility and more, leather article are tested and evaluated by our Evolved By Nature scientists. Each article is also lab tested for the absence of PFAS.
Evolved Leather ID (ELI for short) was conceived by a team of the best leather technicians in the world. Drawing from their combined industry experience of more than nine decades, they created a new industry standard for leather. A tool that takes every important measurement and distill them into one unique ID for every leather article. As the industry evolves, this dedicated team will make sure ELI does, too, so it remains the most accurate tool for leather performance.
