Question 3: From a professional point of view, it is difficult to answer the difference and selection of leather.

Since it is a leather product selection guide, then we will start with animal leather. Let’s start talking. The common types of leather currently on the market are divided into cowhide, sheepskin, and some special leathers, such as fish skin, snake skin, lizard skin, ostrich skin, and crocodile skin. Because the price is so high that it makes me and other mortals speechless, we will leave it aside. These are not listed~ Mainly speaking of cowhide and sheepskin~

Sheepskin

First of all, not a lot of sheepskin is used. The pores on the sheepskin surface are oblate and clear, and several strands form one Groups, arranged like fish scales. Leather products made from sheepskin have fine and soft leather. Although the surface is shiny, it is not as bright as cow products. If the leather surface is squeezed hard, obvious wrinkles will occur.

Sheepskin is not particularly widely used in the field of bags, shoes and boots because it is very delicate and easy to scratch and tear. However, sheepskin has soft characteristics, so it is more suitable for making leather clothes, gloves and other things that require flexible movement of joints.

So the sheepskin used for shoes and bags is generally goatskin. , the uppers of shoes made of goatskin are soft and comfortable, and if made into boots, they can fit the calf very well. Goat leather is a little more wear-resistant, but it is still very delicate compared to cowhide.

Leather is the skin of cattle and sheep. When we take care of our skin, we are very careful and willing to spend money. The same goes for leather goods. It needs regular care and careful use to make your leather goods sparkle~ If you She is a careless girl. I do not recommend buying shoes or bags made of sheepskin, especially if you are a Virgo! Because you will go crazy because of the scratches and friction that occur during use! Ha ha!

In addition, sheepskin is usually used as the lining of high-end shoes and boots. It is delicate, soft and breathable. If a pair of shoes is made of sheepskin, the leather used on the outside will not be too bad.
