My passion for leather

My fetish to leather is total, and therefore I will show some of my favorite leathers.

Leather is natural material, but when it made in tanneries in Asia it's might not so good for the nature.

It's difficult to explain how I like the feeling to touch the leather.
I like then the leather feels in some way a little bit wet on the surface, little bit like rubber feeling. It should also be soft and nice to touch.
I don't likes when it feels little to dry and feels stiff.
Not to forget is the smell of leather.

Leather touches all my senses, My eyes, My nose, My ear, My skin, My taste.
Well my taste may be not, let's say I have big taste for leather
However it's my personal feeling to leather.

I start with a leather from pig which is pretty stiff and have a rough surface and not glossy, it's also a sheap leather. It's not so flexible as the others. Thickness around 0,6-0,8 mm. The surface is not so beautiful in my opinion.

Next out is my absolutely favorite, Leather from goat.

This leather have all what I wish, thickness, nice surface to touch, flexible and so on.

The thickness is around 0,7-1,2 mm

Goat leather

Here comes some nice pictures of goat skin in some colors.

I have to show you my thick leather from moose, this leather is 2 mm thick and more like leather in a pair of shoes, it has a little bit of glossy surface and stiff to bend.

This leather is the outer shell of my thick leatherhood.

This leather smells absolutely fantastic.

Moose leather

Next one is also from moose but totally different, this one have the same thickness but it's very soft and stretchable. The surface it more rough and not so glossy but it's fantastic to touch.

This leather I have as linning inside my heavy leatherhoods.

moose leather

Poor moose, some bites and scratches.

I have also some hides from deer, it's likes moose but it little bit thinner, 1-1,4 mm and a bit glossier.

This leather are extremely soft and comfortable to work with and have a real leather smell+++

These hides are pretty small, may be 4 sqf. and often with bulletholes after hunting.

Deer leather

Hides from cow can varies a lot depending the use of the hides.

These hides I have is made for some clothes and some furnitures so it's soft and nice at surfaces and the thickness is 1,1-1,3 mm, and it's pretty heavy and compact structure.

The surface is little bit glossy and very soft.

These hide are very large about 4-5 sq meters.

Cow leather

Leather from lamb is the most soft leather, therefore it's uses to make clothes.

It's thin and light in weight so it's comfortable to wear.

Thickness is only 0,4-0,7 mm and you can find all sorts of surfaces and colors. 

I have one favorite and it's very glossy and thin.

I use to have this as linning inside my leatherstuff.

Lamb leather

Next leather is also from lamb but the surface is more  rough, not so much as the goatskin but not so thick either, it's about 0,6-0,8 mm.

This leather is extremely soft and stretchable so it can be difficult to sew as it's so flexible.
