KingsCountyLeather Report post Posted March 3, 2018 Hi all, I’ve been making a bag from this leather and I don’t know what leather it is? It was one of many hides I purchased from a shoe factory and I know it is chrome tanned. It has a beautiful soft velvet feel to it with a Matt finish, when folded it has a pull up look to it (only a little though) It has a white layer between the top grain and the flesh back. (I skived a little piece in the picture) It is definitely real leather as I have the full side of leather. Has anyone come across this type of leather before? Ger.

SonderingSusan Report post Posted March 12, 2018 hey @KingsCountyLeather, id say its a cow hide leather. its just not a "through dyed " leather. this is something you should watch out for when buying, simply because a through dyed leather will be the same colour the whole way through and is easier to work with as a result and usually better quality.
