Quality of the leather-How do I know?
How many times have we seen the advertisement claiming "Genuine Leather" or "quality of the skin." Exactly what is made of genuine leather or leather first class, I do not know to be demolished?
First, what is made of leather. Leather said only the skin of an animal. As long as the material produced by the skin of an animal, they may require "Genuine Leather". Leather is another story. When doneRead this, you will be able to look at a leather clothing immediately if it is quality or not.
It may or may not have noticed that there are flea markets, supermarkets, pharmacies, supermarkets and warehouses have been sold the "Genuine Leather" Coats, jackets, backpacks and suitcases. They consist of a mosaic design, and lined up as a rule. These are usually made of lamb and are sold at prices unreal. There is nothing wrongLambs. The fact is that leather choice for all leather, which is near worn under the skin. The feed is also an advantage if it were used for comfort or insulation. The mosaic design is the first indication that the skin of poor quality. The mosaic design is because the remains are swept off the floor in the manufacture of other garments, fed through a sewing machine messages created with an extra piece of leather, and frommore clothes. The skin itself can be produced from different varieties.
Let's talk about the types of skin. There are 3 main types of leather:
Class 1 "or" full bloom "clear, smooth and clean, must be consistent in color, has the highest yield of over 90% and smooth surface.
Level 2 is less consistent in color, with a yield of 78% and the surface is slightly flawed.
Grade 3 is very uneven and irregularColor, has a yield of 40% and the surface is very weak and I feel stiff, partly from the need to hide the excessive coating of error.
These grades are standard no matter what type of animal the leather came. There are many different types of animals used for leather production. All of lamb, beef, ostrich and crocodile. The two most popular for use in garments are lamb and cow. For purposes of this article we will discuss thesetwo.

Surface colored leather is very different from aniline-dyed leather, because the surface is to die by adding a layer of color to the wood. Covers onlySurface of wood and defects. Aniline dyed leather is like adding color, wood, paint, allowing the natural beauty of the wood shine through, penetrating the surface, will be held for them. The natural beauty of high quality leather is visible through a clean, rich aniline.
Select objects in color and craft. While all the skins contain certain physical symptoms, there should be big ugly stains on the piece that you specify. Awell, not the manufacturer of leather skins with 2 or Class 3.
