The invention provides a functional leather product, preferably for a glove or a shell of a glove having a capacitive, near field communication enabling perceptible and/or protective function, and a method for producing said leather product. The leather product comprises leather in form of a cut piece comprising at least in part a sandwich structure of at least two layers, wherein said sandwich structure comprises a first layer, which comprises an upper split leather obtained by at least partially splitting said cut piece of leather parallel to its upper surface at a predetermined cross-sectional depth of maximum about 4.95 mm, preferably 2.5 mm and a second layer comprising a functional layer, wherein the functional layer is attached at least in part to the first layer.

The present invention relates to a method for making a leather laminate having a textured surface, and leather laminates made by this method. The laminates comprise a leather layer bonded to a reinforcing fabric with an adhesive, the reinforcing fabric providing strength to the laminate. The method involves dry milling the laminate in humid air, during which the reinforcing fabric constrains the laminate causing the textured surface to form.
