How To Tell Real vs Fake Leather by Buffalo Jackson

Advances in the manufacturing of synthetic, or fake leather, are being called “production improvements” - but, we call bull. All it really means is it’s getting tougher for folks to easily spot a fake. So, sure, if your goal is to get something that looks like something it’s not, then enjoy the “improvements.” We don’t have time for that. Here’s how to be sure you’re getting real leather and not some fancy faux nonsense:

This guy's whole rugged, wise, southern, rustic, country demeanor is the reason I watched this whole video and genuinely wanted to hear his input. He looks exactly like someone who know would know about good leather.

Ok, so... how do you know if something is real leather?

[Klocks]

He didn't answer the question but his delivery and overall presentation made me really enjoy the video anyway! :)

[saadams]

Yup! Many times it is only the tag itself that is real leather...

[grownupgaming]

Easier way: Press into the material with your thumb. if you see uniform creases, its fake. if you see a wide variation of some deep and some light creases, its real.

Okay, so from now on, whenever I buy some leather items either in store or online, and no matter who made it, I’m gonna call you and ask if it’s real or fake right?

Let’s save everyone 3 minutes: this video doesn’t answer the question it titles the video. It is a 3 min video about grifting though, so I get it.

PSA: This is an ad and does not explain how to tell is leather is real or not

[anindanahiyan]

if the shopkeeper is willing to bet on his product, you can take a lighter to the test matterial. real leather won't easily melt or burn, only char. then it'll smell like burnt hair. fake leather will burn similar to cloth or plastic. it'll likely catch fire. and no matter how much leather scent the manufacturer puts on it, once fake leather burns, it'll smell like burnt plastic.

[bunnatang]

i was expecting he explains clearly how to distinguish the real vs fake (pleather or vegan leather)

[polaris]

how is it legal to say "genuine" if it's not?

[jvp]

Okay….can I at least know what that little spray is called?

[Grumplefut]

This is how politicians answer questions

[KL-esbt]

I've seen and used many fake leather products now I don't know what real leather is supposed to feel or smell like..Only time can tell me.

[sabrinaelisa]

Misleading title. Doesn't even tell the difference between real and fake leather. Dislike

[samuelfranco]

Okay but i have 3 questions

Do you sell leather jackets? If so do you have an online website so i may purchase? Also what kind of leather is more durable?

To clarify the last question i mean the kind of leather hyde.

[bladder]

Well, that was completely uninformative.

[Life_Is_A...]

Your tone and pacing are incredibly enjoyable to watch.

Waste of 2 minutes and 54 seconds. I learned zero.

Trying to get decent made, durable shoes these days is not you spend outrageous amount.
