How many times have we seen the advertisement claiming “Genuine leather” Or “Quality Leather”. Just what is Genuine Leather, or Quality Leather, how do I know I didn't get ripped off? I often get questions at  Hot Stuff Leather and Lace about the quality of the leather we have, and if it real leather, or is it real patent leather.  First, what is leather? Leather, simply stated, is the skin of an animal. So as long as the material is made from the skin of an animal, they can claim “Genuine Leather”. Quality leather is a different story. When you finish reading this, you will be able to look at a leather garment and tell immediately if it is quality or not. The patchwork design is the first indication that this is poor quality leather. The patchwork design is because they swept the scraps off the floor from the manufacture of other garments, fed them through a machine to sew the scraps together, created another sheet of leather and made more garments. The leather itself could made of various grades. Let's talk about grades of leather. There are 3 primary grades of leather:
Grade 1 or “full-Grain” clear, supple, and clean, is consistent  in  color, has the highest yield of over 90% and the surface is smoothest.
Grade 2 is less consistent in color, has a  yield of 78% and the surface  is slightly imperfect.
Grade  3 is a blotchy and very inconsistent in color, has a yield of  40% and the surface is very imperfect and will feel stiff, partly from the excessive coating needed to hide imperfections. These grades are standard no mater what type of animal the leather came from. There are a lot of different types of animals that are used for leather. Everything from lamb to cow, and alligator to Ostrich. The two most popular for use in jackets are lamb and cow. For the sake of this article we will discuss these two.
LAMBSKIN The softest, thinnest, most supple skin. A Buttery texture and finely  grained. Stretches well and tends to  reshape after wearing .
LAMB TOUCH COW  or COW NAPPA
Thin, Soft and supple - close in look and  feel to lamb but is not lamb.  A Smoother finish and finer texture  to cow hide.COW HIDE
Very tough wearing  and durable. Heaviest of the cowhides. Very noticeable  texture  skin and grainy. Mostly outerwear - especially jackets.  Weekend casual, ready-to-wear.
Ok, now we know the different grades, and types of leather, how do we know we got the good stuff? First, use your eyes. A very good way to tell if you’re purchasing a garment of HIGH-quality leather is to look at the seams and needle marks. If they seem to be a different color than the garment itself this could mean that the garment is dyed on the surface only – surface-dyed as opposed to aniline-dyed leather (dyed on both sides).  Surface-dyed leather is much different to aniline-dyed leather because surface-dying is like adding a coat of paint to wood. It merely covers up the wood’s natural surface and defects. Aniline-dyed leather is like adding varnish to wood, varnish allows the woods natural beauty to shine through by penetrating the surface instead of covering it up. The natural beauty of high-quality leather is visible through a sheer, rich aniline dye. Check the items for overall color and craftsmanship. While all  skins contain  some natural marks, there should not be any large unsightly  blemishes on the piece you are inspecting.  A good manufacturer of leather  apparel will not use leather of  2nd or 3rd grade.
  Next, use your nose. The garment should smell like leather, not chemicals. And while we are on the subject of chemicals, you want leather that has not been treated with Azo Dye. Azo Dye is toxic and has been linked to many skin reactions. And lastly, feel it. Is it soft to the touch, is it smooth. It should be free of any bumps and it should flex easily. It should not be stiff and hard to bend.And now about Patent Leather, Vinyl, and PVC:
It is surprising to me how many people do not know that there is a difference. In fact I have had to list my patent leather as vinyl and PVC just so that our listings will show in the search. First big difference is that Patent Leather is actually made from leather, vinyl and PVC are not.
Poromeric Imitation Leatheris  what a lot of folks refer to as "patent leather" when actually it isn't.  It has a high glossy finish and is a petroleum product or a vinyl.  Because of the material, color can be more consistent in the manufacturing  process and a greater flexibility produces every color of the rainbow  and then some. The vinyl is typically backed with polyester.
PVC.   Actually, PVC is polyvinyl chloride
