A few minutes about | leather
Leather is a living material and its texture will vary in character.
The surface can be varied, in that
a new pattern is imprinted on it,
so-called ”embossed”
or ”printed” leather.
The fibre structure in leather is
elastic and stretches,
something to consider when
trying out leather clothes.
Leather is built up of fibres. This
fibre structure varies with the
animals.
Leather is very heat resistant
and only vaguely influenced by
friction heat resulting from a fall.
The strength of leather cannot be judged by touch or vision.
The elasticity in the fibre structure,
and its thickness, is deciding for its
resistance in an accident.
Therefore, leather should be
regularly greased to prevent the
fibres from drying out.
Design of the seams and
choice of thread are two
other parameters
influencing the quality of
the product.
The usual way of dying leather is in a
bath or detailing on the surface.
Mechanical treatment for a used look is
another method used.
Leather garments should
be cleaned and
impregnated regularly to
keep the quality of leather
and thread.
