Choose leather
L
eather »
in fashion this
year and with spring sales can be
a good investment. l eather can cost a
little more, but it lasts twice as long
as any fabric and with proper care
older leather goods can be more
comfortable and just as good
looking as new. Because leather
breathes, it helps you retain your
natural body temperature no matter
what the weather.
The younger the skin the more
supple it is—calfskin, kidskin and
lambskin are softer than cowhide,
goatskin and sheepskin. However,
they are not the most durable so
won't wera as long. Handbags,
shoes and bools should be made of
sturdy leather, so they will last.
Q uality varies from skin to skin,
l eather is often split into layers
during processing; the outer layer is
called "to p grain" and is the most
durable, takes the best finish and
has grain markings. Both leather
and suede can come from "lo p
grain": smooth leather is the
original outside surface of the skin
and suede is the inner face o f that
layer.
The underlayers are called
"splits." They are more porous,
more likely to toughen during wear
and more likely to stretch during
training or stretch during cleaning.
M any splits are given an embossed
surface because they do not take
finishes well.
The leather that comes from an
anim al’s back and sides is o f better
quality; skins from the belly and
legs are thinner, coarser and stretch
more easily.
For the uninitiated, the best way
to buy leather goods is to do some
comparison shopping and go to a
store or a salesperson you trust. The
salesperson should be fam iliar with
leathers and be willing to answer
questions.
Some guidelines to follow
include:
• Leather should be uniform in
color and texture.
•A vo id heavily died items; die
may hide a flaw.
•Fine, supple leathers stain more
easily.
• Little lines running ghrough the
leathers (where the veins were), in­
dicate "s p lits ." W hile top grain
leather may be labeled, cheap
leather never is.
•U nlined items can easily stretch,
so dresses, pants, skirts and jackets
should be lined.
