FJ Ratchford have been stocking and supplying quality materials since 1889, and one product is often associated with us more than any other, and this is Leathercloth. The reason being that Ratchford have been closely associated with Rexine leathercloth since its origination over 80 years ago. The last roll of Rexine was produced in 2005, and since then we are pleased to launch our own quality Leathercloth, which is available in similar shades to the old Rexine quality.
