Leather products have been around for centuries. One of the oldest industries in human culture. Native Americans, Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, and Mesopotamians developed several different tanning processes centuries before industrialization. Leather was used to make intricate clothing such as shoes, gloves, armor. Leather was also used to make buckets, bottles and even weapons. The Industrial Revolution brought all sorts of new technological innovations that made the leather making process very efficient, environmentally friendly and hygienic. The leather industry in the United States dates back to the colonial period. The skin “grew” with the population throughout the 18th century. In 1750, there were more than 1,000 tanners in America. The number increased to 8000 by 1840! At that time, the main activity in the skin was that of the shoemaker. In 1850, more than 11,000 shoemakers operated in the United States
The big difference in the quality of the skins:
See various labels on leather items, such as “TOP GRAIN” or “Genuine Leather”. These are simply different types of leather based on their quality. If you want to get the best quality for the money, you need to know where to buy leather, and also need to know how to distinguish between the different types of leather. One needs to understand why skins are worth more than others and why a particular leather bag costs thousands of shekels, while others cost a pinch of the price. So, what is the best skin? The best quality skin will depend on important factors, most notably: the type of animal, breed, physical location and the climate in which the animal grew up.
The dyeing process is carried out from different breeds of cows that will produce different quality because of their genetics and environment. In hot climates there are insects that sting the animal and leave scars while in cold climates there are less pests.
Some strains may be more hairy or have thicker skin due to the weather. Different parts of the skin also yield different quality skin. The lower part, for example, tends to have loose fibers. The loose fibers absorb liquids and tend to swell when wet. Low parts are much more likely to be damaged by insects and barbed wire fences. There are additional defects around the legs, neck and head area. These scars are permanent and almost impossible to remove in the processing of the skin.
The skill of working on the skins will significantly affect the quality of the final product !!!.
