Brushed or split leather tanning
Brushed leather is a leather whose grain has been sanded down to present a velvety surface, soft to the touch. While it may look similar to suede, it actually requires a different kind of care!
Split leather refers to the cutting of the hide, and the fact that only the lower part of the dermis is kept: the flesh side. The grain of this part is often finer than the grain of the flower side, and thus silkier, smoother and more malleable.
