What Is Full Grain Leather?
Leather in all its forms and types is simply amazing but people have different preferences when it comes to a leather costume. Some buy it for warmth, others purely for fashion purposes. Hence it is important to know the difference between full-grain, top-grain, bonded, split, sheepskin and corrected leather etc. Full-grain is the highest quality leather as it comes from the strongest and most durable part of the hide that is just below the animal hair. It is tanned without being sanded or treated to maintain the natural look and texture. This leather contains the most natural characteristics among all types.
What Is The Difference Between Full Grain And Top Grain Leather?
Full-grain comes from the top layer of the animal hide which is why the amount of natural grain in this type of leather is highest. Due to the minimum amount of treatment that this leather goes through, there are marks and other imperfections on the hide. They give the leather a vintage vibe. Apart from being extremely durable, full-grain is airy that makes you feel fresh.
Top-grain on the other hand is not as thick as the other type of leather which makes it less expensive. Top-grain is sanded to remove imperfections and to give it a more uniform look. It is long lasting but is not even close to the durability that full-grain offers.

Secondly, use cleaning products that are specifically made for leather followed by a conditioner and a leather moisturizer. This will keep your jacket as good as new for a really long time.
