4 Qualities That Make Leather Goods Stand Out:
First of all, it all starts with the leather hide itself. Leather grades depends on the layers being used. There are 5 different grades of leather we will discover today. One, is Full -grain this is the highest quality of leather. Two, is Top- grain leather. Three, is Split -grain. Four, is genuine and five, is Bonded leather. Full-grain and Top-grain leathers are the highest quality because of the flesh side thick fibers it has on it from the animal skin.
Secondly, real cowhide or any animal hide for that matter be it Buffalo, Bison, Snakeskin, Goatskin or Alligators skin are the most common leather hides that have a natural appearance. With these leather hides come with many different scars, scratches, dents, blemishes, and should not be considered as a defect to the leather but, rather a uniqueness and beauty of the animal hide. Meanwhile, after the leather hide is removed from the animal it then, goes through a tanning process where the hides are washed with soap, water and other ingredients to get it ready for leather. This process can take up to a few days to several months depending on the type of animal and its size.
Natural vegetable tanned leather can be tooled with cravings, engravings, and customize leather stamping. It has a natural color tone which means that it can dye using soluble dyes. The leather then is fully saturated or Semi-saturated in the dye solution. This process in called "Aniline or Semi-Aniline".
