Leather Terms and Finishes
There are two basic types of categories: FINISHED or UNFINISHED.
Briefly, finished leather is first dyed via immersion in an
aniline dye solution and then the outside face of the hide is coated with a
pigmented resin. Then a subsequent
clear-coating is added. Finished leather
is protected by the color-coating and clear-coating.
UNFINISHED leather processing stops at the first dyeing
process without any resin coating. The
unfinished leather is unprotected, not having either of the coatings listed
above.

Intro To Printed Leather By
Pelle Valore, Inc.
The qualities of leather~created by leather and preserved by
the tanner~are superior of those of any man made synthetic material.
The 4 main reasons to use leather is as follows:
Flexibility~Leather
stretches to conform to individual contuours, yet retains sufficient shape to
provide support.
Durability~Leather
resists tears, punctures, heat, cold and other stresses so well that it’s used
in many safety applications where other materials fail.
Comfort~Leather
“breathes” allowing air in and moisture out.
A natural insulator, leather protects against extremes in temperature
and humidity.
Beauty~Leather,
by its very nature, comes in a wide range of pleasing textures and surface
patterns. It also takes well to a
variety of finishing processes, designs and color applications. A rich “feel” and a pleasing scent also
heighten the appeal of leather.
Be
aware~the more the leather smells the worse the leather is. Leather is sold off as grades from A being
the highest. Tanners will purchase hides
to color in L/M/N grade and patch them, fill them and add so many chemicals to
them it creates a smell to get them to look like a grade A.
Also, note
that ALL LEATHER is taken for the meat first and the skins are discarded to our
industry where we break them down and use them to complete the cycle and not
having them to be sent to landfills to create more waste.
This is why PETA does not bother the leather
industry as much as the fur industry.
