    I think it's important to say what suede is a split from a full grain leather, it's the inner part of it. Greetings, good vid

      Great mention, yes it is usually made from the middle layer or layers from a thick hide that is split into several thinner layers.

    "genuine leather" is a bit of a misnomer. It's not an industry term for any particular kind of leather. Full grain, top grain, even suedes and splits can all be considered "genuine leather", much like how a whole cut of meat and minced meat are both "genuine meat". What "genuine leather" is is just a manufacturer saying their product it made of leather without disclosing what kind it is. You will find the very highest (and lowest) quality leathers all being stamped with "genuine leather".

    First thing the volume has to be a tad louder. It's hard to make out what you say. Especially with some useful knowledge your dropping here. Nice work with the. Close up and showing the details of what you are saying in relation. Good info too. Just a bit louder and clearer

      Thank you for the valuable feedback! It is most welcome and definitely helps. TH-cam used to have a handy feature where the audio in published videos can be increased through their publishing editor, though it seems that has been removed. We'll improve audio in future videos so it's clean and clear, thanks 😃

    What would you recommend to darken a backpack with Horween Veg Tan Essex Leather! without ruining the leather, I was looking at the description of the bag and it mentioned that the leather was slightly bleached so I was hoping I could tan the leather a bit more if possible.

    • @internationalleatherclub
      @internationalleatherclub  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello! I believe that leather has a unique fats/oils blend infused into it, which can also make an attempt to darken it unique as well, given the composition. General conditioning might darken it some, and maybe reach out to Horween, or where you purchaed the backpack (if they're leather-knowledgeable) for guidance what that particular type. In general some leathers can be altered after tanning, and some, because of their unique process and composition, might be tough to alter. Wishing you well with it!

    If I wanted to make a watch box kinda like a trunk style box, what leather would you use and what weight would you suggest?

    • @internationalleatherclub
      @internationalleatherclub  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey 😃, in general a vegetable tanned leather can work well for something like that - it would look nice, can wear well over time, and be realtively sturdy.
      As to weight, it would depend on if you're making the structure of the box from leather (an example is this box pattern in the latest Journal Issue: www.internationalleatherclub.com/international-leather-journal-volume-2-issue-3/#download) then using a thicker leather or layers to about a 7/8oz weight.
      If you're looking to cover an existing box with leather, a 2/3 oz or 3/4 oz might work nicely and make it easier to crease or bend around corners and edges.
      Wet molding can be an option to explore too, and would lean towards a heavier leather since it would be structural as well as aesthetic.
      Happy Crafting!

    So Vegan Leather and Vegetable Tan Leather are two different things?

    • @internationalleatherclub
      @internationalleatherclub  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello! 😃 Yes, Vegan leather is a general term that often refers to materials not made from leather, such as plastic-based materials, or materials that simulate the look/feel of leather.
      Vegetable tanned leather is often a natural leather, tanned using a process called "vegetable tanning" which usually uses elements from tree bark or plants in the tanning process.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback, the audio could use some balancing. This was an earlier video and we've adjusted the sound balance in more recent ones, so hopefully they're sounding better! 👍
