Subscribed from south india. Very well explained for beginners like me. Pls share more videos about leathers since I'm into leather business shortly. Thanks 👍

"genuine leather" is a bit of a misnomer. It's not an industry term for any particular kind of leather. Full grain, top grain, even suedes and splits can all be considered "genuine leather", much like how a whole cut of meat and minced meat are both "genuine meat". What "genuine leather" is is just a manufacturer saying their product it made of leather without disclosing what kind it is. You will find the very highest (and lowest) quality leathers all being stamped with "genuine leather".

Very informative and a relaxing way to learn about leathers

I think it's important to say what suede is a split from a full grain leather, it's the inner part of it. Greetings, good vid

First thing the volume has to be a tad louder. It's hard to make out what you say. Especially with some useful knowledge your dropping here. Nice work with the. Close up and showing the details of what you are saying in relation. Good info too. Just a bit louder and clearer

Is oil tanned different from veg tanned and chrome tanned? Is it just a finish or the oil does something to the leather? I have read that oil tanning can be done on veg tanned and chrome tanned leather. Are there similarities or differences on oil tanned leather that is veg tanned and chrome tanned leather?

Scrapple of leather 😂😂😂 love it!! I live in an area where nobody even knows what it is I have to special order it through one local mom and pop grocery store.

What would you recommend to darken a backpack with Horween Veg Tan Essex Leather! without ruining the leather, I was looking at the description of the bag and it mentioned that the leather was slightly bleached so I was hoping I could tan the leather a bit more if possible.

If I wanted to make a watch box kinda like a trunk style box, what leather would you use and what weight would you suggest?

[Goyaljikaladka]

[papalol]

[TheContrariann]

So Vegan Leather and Vegetable Tan Leather are two different things?

[jamesledbetter]
