Animal hides are soaked in bactericides and detergents to remove the remaining protein and prevent the growth of bacteria. • They are then sent to a tannery to be preserved and soften. Once again they are soaked. This time in tannic acid solution. • The tanned hides are washed and cut to a desired thickness. They are then go through a dry process. • They may be streched to avoid shrinkage and constantly sprayed with soap and water to avoid stiffness. Once dry, they are buffed.
There are four major types of Leather. • Full-grain leather has not been sanded or buffed to remove the natural markings. • Top-grain leather is the top part of full-grain leather that has been split. • Corrected-grain leather has an artificial grain added to the surface and are most common for pigmented leather. • Split leather is the bottom half of top-grain leather
Types of Leather There are four major types of leather. • Full-grain leather has not been sanded or buffed to remove the natural markings. It is the most expensive leather, but gives it great strength, durability, and breathability • Top-grain leather is the top part of full-grain leather that has been split. It is then buffed and coated resulting in less breathability. It is the second highest quality leather, but is also the most common. • Corrected-grain leather has an artificial grain added to the surface and are most common for pigmented leather • Split leather is the bottom half of top-grain leather, but it can be further broken in down into multiple layers.
