Since 1921, Foglizzo’s reputation has been founded on the design and development of high-quality leathers for clients who require exclusivity and individual customisation. Heir to the best Italian traditions, over three generations Foglizzo has been driven by a culture of excellence and guided by artisanal know-how, innovative technical skills, and the ability to understand their customers’ needs. Without sacrificing the coveted look and soft hand that distinguishes only the best hides, Foglizzo aircraft collections are specially engineered to meet the most stringent industry performance tests.

When searching for the best solutions, Foglizzo Leather’s expertise and passion are at their client’s disposal. By listening to their visions, understanding their needs and desires, and collaborating creatively within project constraints, Foglizzo are able to drive innovation and push results beyond expectations. With this innovation, Foglizzo has developed the Low Specific Weight (LSW) collection, a new leather engineered to weigh up to 30% less than traditional aviation leather. The collection offers several available finishes and colourway options.

As part of their performance improving leathers, the LSW collection is available as Nubuck, Semi-Aniline, Full Aniline and High Performance. Starting at Nubuck which weighs 575gr, the range increases to Semi-Aniline at 600gr, Full Aniline at 640gr, up to High Performance at 680gr, all with a thickness of 0.9 | 1. The High Performance option is 39% lighter than traditional aviation leathers, with the full collection ranging from 26-39% lighter. The 4mg leather originates from North Italy, and has a 60 Second vertical burn in accordance with FAR 25.853. The leathers are flame resistant and lightweight, yet highly resistant to bending, stretching, soiling and wear.
