Need Help Identifying This Leather (Full Or Top?)

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to leathercrafting and recently purchased some leather online locally.

I was told I'm ordering "high quality full grain leather which is used in sofa manufacturing". When it arrived I was pretty disappointed because it looked like some low grade top grain leather. I called the supplier but he insisted it was full grain so I'm pretty confused now.

What made me think its top grain is that its finished and I cant see any pores on the leather at all, it doesn't absorb any form of moisture and that the top part peeled off in several places.

Please take a look at the picture and let me know what you think. Could full grain leather really look like this?

I would just return this back. Looks like the grain had treatment to it and is less than top grain quality and has a plastic feel to it.
