@puredleather: "Genuine leather" is a term used in marketing and it could be misleading if you are not aware what it could mean. Hope this video clears things up!!
I have a full grain leather jacket from 1962 and it looks amazing. Tough as nails! Sadly I had to get the original Talon zipper replaced with a modern one when that finally wore out

ALSO if you see “PU Leather” on a garment tag it’s not a type of leather at all. The PU is short for ‘polyurethane’ which is essentially plastic. It’s basically just cheap fake leather.

What I'm hearing is leather has an equivalent to what mdf and osb are for wood?

I got to help make buckskin leather from a goat once!! It was a long process but lots of fun, we brain tanned and it was super interesting albeit somewhat gross. I definitely would love to try making leather again someday

Thank you! I wish I had seen this before I bought my genuine leather sofa that completely wore out in three years. I feel like it had a full grain price tag though. 😾

I like brain-tanned leather for crafting period pieces, it just fits the bill so well. But veg-tanned works well for most modern styled projects.

Go for full grain, top grain, corrected grain, nubuck, flesh out leathers. Veg tan is the standard be careful with chrome tanned leathers it reacts with metals 👌

Just got two watches that bands had genuine leather stamped on them. One aged like how id expect leather to while the other is crumbly like faux leather. Nice to know the reason why now. Thankfully I thrifted the watches to try my hand at taking the watch piece apart

How hard is it to work with leather? I don't necessarily want to get into leather working, but I do really want to replace a belt I've got because the buckle is beautiful.

reconstituted leather technically being genuine leather is one of many wordplay issues 🤣
