Why leather?

In terms of all its positive properties, leather is unrivaled by any alternative material. The tear resistance, which results from the special structure of the endless fibers.

In particular the cutting edge and stitch tear resistance. A cut in any direction in the leather does not fray and eliminates the need for a hem. A seam can be right next to a cut edge and you don't have to worry about the puncture holes tearing out towards the edge. These properties come into play in shoe soles, belts but also in gloves or sports equipment such as balls or boxing gloves. The next aspect is the hygienic properties. Deformability, elastic and permanent stretchability, moisture absorption capacity, water vapor permeability and protection against external influences are the advantages over other fiber materials. Leather can be dyed in all colors. Specially manufactured leathers are used in aircraft construction because they are flame-resistant. The hygienic and easy-care advantages compared to other fiber materials also apply to car and furniture leather.
