Leather is a hard-wearing fabric, that is flexible and wrinkle-resistant, which is why it\u2019s such a good investment.  We&#8217;ll be covering the many types of  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/printed-leather\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leather<\/a> in this blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"627\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kelly-sikkema-qATevUkntlo-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kelly-sikkema-qATevUkntlo-unsplash.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kelly-sikkema-qATevUkntlo-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>How are different types of leather made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>1.) Tanning prep<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare the leather by taking the hair off the hide, then soak and bleach it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>2.) Tanning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Time for tanning! No, we\u2019re not talking about soaking up some rays- this is a crucial step for the leather in order it to stay strong and flexible for a long time. Use tanning agents like chrome salts and vegetable oil to treat the hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>3.) Crusting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Crusting basically thins and dries down the leather, getting it all beautiful for production. It also locks in all the tanning dye. Sometimes with certain leathers, a surface coat with be applied, which is referred to as \u201cfinishing\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Types of finishes for the different types of leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Spraying<\/li><li>Buffing<\/li><li>Padding<\/li><li>Oiling<\/li><li>Embossing<\/li><li>Glazing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>The different types of leather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"648\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ranurte-xfg7EmNZXXU-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ranurte-xfg7EmNZXXU-unsplash-1.jpg 648w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ranurte-xfg7EmNZXXU-unsplash-1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ranurte-xfg7EmNZXXU-unsplash-1-440x273.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Full-grain Leather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of leather is considered the highest quality leather because it includes all of the grain, which makes it extremely flexible. Full-grain leather will probably not be the cheapest option, but will last you forever and you can rest assured that the quality is top tier. Corrected-grain leather is another option. It still contains the top grain, but has been sanded down to create a more unflawed, smooth look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Suede<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamb\u2019s skin is what is used to make suede, a fabric that\u2019s popular for shoes, jackets and accessories. Unlike full-grain leather, which is sturdy and thick, suede is thinner and softer. Why is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/printing-on-suede-fabric\">Suede<\/a> so soft? Good question. It&#8217;s because it\u2019s made from the underside of the animal skin, which gives it that smooth finish. Suede is extremely popular, due to it\u2019s luxurious, soft texture, that you see mostly with high-end brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Patent leather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want a leather that\u2019s water resistant? Perfect, this one&#8217;s for you then! Patent leather can be distinguished by its shiny, lacquered finish, that\u2019s seen mostly in formal shoes, handbags and belts. Start celebrating, because patent leather is less expensive than natural leather, due to the plastic coating that\u2019s put over its leather\/ faux leather base. Basically this process means that it can be produced much less expensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Bonded leather <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonded leather is a combination of real and fake leather. Scraps of leather are taken and melted down to produce the finished effect of a full sheet of leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Some types of bonded leather:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Vinyl<\/li><li>Composite<\/li><li>Reconstituted<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>What are different types of leather used for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clothing: Different types of leather are used for clothing items like leather trousers, leather jackets, leather dresses, leather blouses, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furniture: Timeless and elegant, leather chairs and sofas will never go out of style. Drive in style with a car seat made of leather. You&#8217;ll often see these in the more high-end range of cars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoes: Leather shoes are a popular because of how sturdy the fabric is. Doc Martins, loafers and high heels are other popular leather shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bookbinding: Hardcover books are bound using leather most of the time. Tanning used for this specific type of leather is vegetable tanning, making the leather super smooth and soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Contrado&#8217;s different types of leather:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"443\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/print-on-nappa-leather-textured-1246358_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/print-on-nappa-leather-textured-1246358_l.jpg 443w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/print-on-nappa-leather-textured-1246358_l-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Smooth Nappa Leather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nappa leather is a full grain leather with a 0.7-1.6 mm thickness.
