Real leather will feel soft and flexible, but it will also have a grainy feel. You also won't be able to stretch faux leather, but real leather can be stretched. Lastly, real leather will feel warm, while fake leather feels cool. Leather has a distinct, oaky smell, while faux leather does not.
How can you identify leather?

To identify genuine leather, look for a tag labeling the product as real leather, genuine leather, top or full grain leather, or made with animal products. Run your fingers across the surface grain to feel for tiny imperfections, which usually indicate real leather. If you're still not sure, smell the material.
Which leather is real?

Real leathers are generally categorized in three leather grades: Full-grain, top-grain, and split grain leather. Full-grain leather offers the highest quality and costs the most whereas split grade leather offers the least quality and costs the least. Click here to find out more about leather grades.
Does real leather have a smell?
Real leather: If you've smelled real leather before, you know it has a distinctive “leathery” smell - it has a natural, organic, skin scent that cannot be accurately manufactured. How to spot fake leather: There is no reliable way to fake the smell of real leather. Faux leather smells like plastic.
Is it worth buying real leather?
The answer is, real leather can last decades if treated well. Faux leather, on the other hand, has about a third of the lifespan of authentic leather. It also won't develop lustre or become more soft and comfortable like real leather. But, instead, faux leather looks more worn out as it ages - like most fabrics.
Does real leather crack?

Authentic leather is made of animal hide, which naturally needs to be maintained and moisturized to keep it elastic and durable. Even so, leather of a poor quality tends to easily become dry, crack, and unfortunately peel.
Why is Italian leather so good?
Image result
The premium leather that Italy is renowned for is the full-grain, vegetable-tanned kind. Removed from the outermost layer of the animal's skin - the most durable part of the hide - full-grain leather has an unaltered grain structure and is subsequently extremely robust.
Is real leather expensive?
Genuine Leather Is Expensive
The material used, however, is the simplest way to distinguish genuine leather. Genuine top-grain cowhide or sheep leather is costly since the process of finding the right animal hide and converting it into wearable leather is time-consuming. - Jak na to + styl
Very informative, thank you. ☘️
Thanks very useful and direct
I have a faux jacket that looks exactly like the "real" one here, i actually take very good care of my clothes, so literally the only downside of all my faux jackets is that the collar will peel sooner or later, even the ones that haven't been worn much started peeling, which is too bad because the rest of the jacket is in perfect conditions lol
The put spots on the chin and side Adam's apples side neck to snap the neck of the devil 😭😂
Not solo camping real super heavy rain situation 😭
@@Dragon-Slay3r huh???
Thank you very nice
Does this take into account Pull Up/Crazy Horse leather? To my understanding it also lightens when pinched or stretched because of the oils and waxes. I own a 100% confirmed full grain crazy horse cowhide and it lightens when pinched and stretched.
yeah its not change color just because method of dyeing leather
I wouldn’t do the fire test by my $500.00 leather jacket (even if it’s $150.00), or even my $79.99 fake leather jacket, either. I, however, might try it on a thoroughly worn out leather jacket, or a fake leather one. Just subbed!! Your friend, Jeff.
Or you can try it at the inside (non visible) leather patches. The genuine leather jacket in the video costs $2000+ and we haven't harmed it (visibly) at all during the burning test.
In Mexico we went to a leather shop and the owner actually did the burn test on one of the jackets we were looking at to show us it was genuine leather. He actually put it on and then put a lighter up against one of the sleeves. He said that if it's real leather, a genuine leather shop won't have any problem with you doing the test. But if they do have a problem with it, then don't pay the price of real leather because it's no such thing. We bought the jacket.
I am gotta do the fire test in the shop
Hmmmm..skeptic on your testing...not sure why....just a hunch.
please feel free to let us know (in a civil manner) all your disagreements. It helps us make/remake better videos in the future
Very helpful and underrated video!
Thank you for the appreciation.
Real astro fire pit roof situation? 😭😂
NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.
The first test was bullcrap, the “scales” or pattern depends on what leather you are using and what cut of that leather you are using, as well as what side you are using.
The fire test is bull too for the most part, leather is fireproof to an extent but I wouldn’t recommend you take an open flame to top grain leather as it may affect the feel or fibrous textures.
Some things are true like the water absorption but that doesn’t always mean real or fake leather.
You’re right dude! Something just doesn’t add up in the video. but I know what you’re talking about straight facts.
So how do you identify a real leather, any ideas?
@@hammadmughal445if its faux leather from a company only you and the water test probably the only somewhat
legit thing on this becauses its hide and not made froma company manufacture
Sab log yha pe leather use krne k liye pahchane aaye hai or mai leather na use krne k liye 😢 because animals ko iske Karan bahut mara jaa rha h 😭
Same Bhai main bhi... Main vegan hu❤
So you've to burn your jacket to find if it's real or not.
You can try it at the inside (non visible) leather patches. The genuine leather jacket in the video costs $2000+ and we haven't harmed it (visibly) at all during the burning test.
Bro the foux leather of good quality like the brand the indian garage will long lasting and not easily burn or it will not long lasing and burn easily please tell me bro ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i don't have this info
@@VoiceOfPeopleToday bro is all types of genuine leather is fire proof?
It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Some faux jackets do a really good job looking like the real, and some real can have faux characteristics if pigmented or smoothed out with protective coatings.
Burn leather can melt it.
Price bhi bataya karo original ki
we don't sell. We just show the differences
Extremely inaccurate video! But good effort.
önce dedri çeşitlerini öğrenmelisin, incelediğin ürünlerin ikiside deri.
In the video there is a REAL leather jacket and a FAKE leather jacket. The fake jacket material is not real leather by any means
everything u said is either partially or completly wrong donc try to teach things when u know nothing about it
Dono hi fake h 😂😂😂
i'm a leather engineer, 😆 Both are fake man!
The real is 100% high quality calfskin.
I am vegan and i came here to get information how to identify that my jacket is made of real leather or not. Please don't buy real leather, it caused pain and suffering to the animals😩🙏
Then honor the animals by only buying second hand leather jackets. Your not supporting the industry, and your making use out of the material, otherwise it would likely just lay around somewhere, functionless and deteriorating. In Some cultures, things like leather or fabrics made from plants have a level of spiritual significance.
A good coat deserves a good home, no matter the material. But you can have a good coat without supporting any of those industries, just buy from thrift and pawn shops.
@@tricksterjoy9740 yeah, I was here to check that my old jackets were made of real leather or not... I am not using any of that animal skin.
Other than certain furs, no animals are slaughtered for leather, it is a biproduct of the meat industry.
A cow sells for around £1,200 at market. The raw leather is worth around £30
No it doesn’t. They don’t kill or hurt animals for leather. It’s just a byproduct of the food industry. Stop buying faux leather. It causes more harm to the environment, because they use synthetic materials.
Is the opposite the one he says is real is actually the fake one.
No it is not. We confidently say that the REAL leather in the video is definitely real. And the FAKE is definitely fake leather
