All around an excellent video. Should be a “must watch” for all people who have questions about leather Great point especially on the age of calf. It’s not clear to me that there is much “true” calf these days so much as yearling leather. Makes sense, as veal has become much less common.
This was such an informative video for those who may not know much about leather. As someone who values footwear, these videos help myself when deciding if a product is worth the money or not. Sadly a lot of brands will use marketing terms that makes consumers believe they are getting a deal, when in reality it’s just not. Great video! 👏🏼
Very true - generally speaking, a lot of marketing terms are there for bottom-line profit, not to ensure the customer gets a great item. So pleased to hear you enjoyed the video!
I realize this is a little out of the scope of this channel, but I was hoping to learn about leather for dog collars. I suppose, it would similar to belts, but maybe more emphasis on durability than looks? I'm thinking about getting into leather working just because I am having a hard time finding exactly what I want for my service dog. Any advice would be great.
perhaps look into saddlery. it's much more functional than anything modern leatherworkers put out, more durable with traditional stitching and building techniques. back then things were made for work, the fashion aspect came as a plus.
I think the little head in a bubble in the corner thing is a bit weird looking. Maybe a slightly bigger bubble that includes your chest/arms would look more natural
Buying a leather garment or product is a lot like buying leather furniture. We bought a $46,000 leather suite. First quality. Top grain. Minimally corrected. Love it. It will last 15+ years. As will quality leather garments and products.. purchase quality and rest easy
I find it funny how some people call leather environmentally unfriendly. If you take proper care leather goods can last a lifetime. Compare that to buying synthetic made in China materials you have to change every year
