The Material
SI Signature™ faux leather features a flexible leatherette profile with a subtle grain texture and leather-look playing surface. The material is approximately 0.97 mm thick, with a soft polyester knit backing that helps protect your table.
Please note that this is intentionally a thin leatherette mat—not a thick, padded, cushioned, or neoprene-style mat. The slim profile creates a sleek, streamlined tabletop appearance, but it may not be the right material for every player. Movement may vary depending on your table surface and personal style of play.
The Finish
The wipe-clean, mold- and mildew-resistant surface is designed for easy care. Its smooth matte finish allows tiles to move across the surface without the padded or cushioned feel of neoprene.
Designed for players who prefer a thin, polished playing surface with a refined leather-look finish.
The Production
Created from original watercolor artwork by Aimee Griffith of Watercolors by Aimee and produced as part of the Watercolors by Aimee x Mahjong by SI artist collaboration.
Each SI Signature™ mat is fabricated, studio-printed, precision-cut, and finished on professional equipment in our U.S.-based studio.
Domestic production allows for faster turnaround and close quality control.

This mat is made from a thin, approximately 0.97 mm leatherette material. It does not have the thickness, weight, padding, cushioning, or rubber backing of a neoprene mat. The slim leatherette profile is not for everyone.
