What's this?

If you get leather, make sure you understand the type of leather.


I believe Top Grain and/or Full Grain are the highest level, softest, etc. Bonded leather isn't leather - it's a bunch of leather scraps, glue and plastic mixed together.

Both full- and top-grain leathers are made from the best quality part of the hide.

Full-grain leather is less processed and leaves the entire — or full — grain of the hide intact, including natural scarring and blemishes. Full grain leather absorbs moisture and oil and, over time, will develop a wonderful patina that looks better the longer the item ages.

Top-grain leather, on the other hand, is buffed, sanded, and pigmented to provide a more uniform and smoother look to the end product. Water and oils do not absorb into top-grain leather and can be wiped away since the leather’s natural pores have been sealed during the coloring process.
