Sheep skin is soft,Two Kinds of Sheepskin Articles glossy, and smoothly. Its pores are thin and small. They spread at random. It usually forms an oblate shape. Sheep skin is thought as very elegant leather material in the market. The sheep skin in nowadays can be made into various styles except its traditional style. In the market, there are embossing and textile printing.
Goat skin is more durable than sheep skin. So goat skin's tension strength is better. Goat skin's surface layer is thicker than sheep skin's, so it is more wear-resisting. They have an obvious difference. Goat skin's layer is coarse, so it is not as smooth as sheep skin. We have a bad feel when we touch it. We can produce many different styles of leather. We can produce a kind of washable old leather. The blot on the skin can be cleaned with water. Oil slick means that we daub a material on the leather. The oil that we use is mixed with three oils. When it folds and crumples, the creases' color will be shallow. That is very natural.
Because of its thickness and fastness, cowhide is mainly used to make shoes or other leather wares. Cowhide has its own characteristics. The pores spread at random and they are so small. It is durable enough. It has good feel and good resilience. Cowhide is used to produced various clothing. However, pigskin and sheepskin are more popular than it in our lives. We use cow split to make costumes. But we mainly use cow spilt suede. It is different from pig split. We can not see pores on the surface, but it is rougher. We make leather products with cow split decorating leather. It is made of cow split. We can hardly identify this kind of leather.
Genuine leather is divided into top layer leather and split. We process the animals' original skins directly and get the top layer leather. The skins are cut two parts. The top part's fiber is tight, so it is processed top layer leather. Split refers to the second part, whose fiber is loose. We get because people put PVC or PU film upon its surface.
Therefore here is a very effective way to differentiate top layer leather and split. We can observe skin's longitudinal section. It is the thickness of fiber that is very important. The top layer leather's fiber is tight and thin. At the same time, you can see a loose layer, which is connected with the fibrous layer. The top layer leather is elastic and plastic. The split's fibrous layer is loosened. Before people use it to produce the leather goods, it is necessary to polish the split or paint the industrial chemicals on it. To some extent, it is naturally elastic and plastic. But, its intension is a little bad. Split and top layer leather have same requirements on their thickness. As a matter of fact, it is necessary for us to know how to differentiate split and top layer leather. If we can successfully distinguish them, it will be very helpful for our choosing on various leathers in the market. I think these methods can help when you choose leather in the shops. You deserve the warmness that the leather brings to you.
