In modern times the quality of leather has been classified as follows.
TOP GRAIN LEATHER is regarded as the highest quality leather and consists of the outer layer of the hide. It is strong and durable and contains the natural markings in the leather.
- FULL GRAIN LEATHER
This is top grain leather without the removal of the surface and is considered the highest quality leather. It comprises the entire thickness of the skin allowing for durability and strength. After a time it develops a beautiful patina. - CORRECTED GRAIN LEATHER
In this case the surface is subjected to various finishing treatments, such as buffing and sandpapering to eliminate the flaws, scars and bug bites, and dyeing and embossing the surface thus creating a more uniform and smooth appearance. This makes the leather thinner and more workable for the manufacturer. This process also prevents stains, which would otherwise sink into full grain leather. In some cases an artificial grain is applied to its surface and then sprayed with stain and dyes to give the fake grain a more natural look. - NUBUCK LEATHER
This is also a top grain leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side producing a velvet like surface. - SUEDE
This comes from split leather which has had the top grain rawhide removed. Cow leather has a rough feel so lamb, goat, calf and deerskin are used. The suede feels great but it is less durable and absorbs liquid easily due to its porous surface. - BONDED LEATHER
This leather is at the bottom of the pyramid and is made out of left over scrap pieces of leather that are shredded into a pulp and then bonded together with polyeurothene or latex. It is cheap and popular with furniture upholsterers. They call it the sausage of leathers. In essence leather dust is mixed with vinyl and cannot be regarded as leather. Sometimes this is described as “genuine” leather.
