I love videos like this or that have to do with the history of a garment! It would be great to see some Parka history or a similar video like this one for wool
I'm kinda new to the leather world, I just started in on it 3 years ago. I've been bamboozled thinking "genuine leather" meant that it was just what it says, until I watched one if your videos explaining the difference. Finding your videos were a godsend, I've picked up a plethora of new knowledge. I can't thank you enough good sir.
Hey Carl, well done video and good pace. Would love to see more info on specific processes like horween chromexecel for example. Or even sole leathers incl. JR...keep up the great work, I appreciste that not every video is a commercial. Your podcast with kavalier and brock was great btw
I just found you and subscribed. I was watching a Nick's boot factory tour video. The person giving the tour said that the rough out surface is the hair side of the leather. I always thought that the smooth side was the hair side. Can you clear that up for me?
The skin has three primary layers. There's the epidermis (the hard outer layer) the dermis (the softer middle layer) and the hypodermis, the squishy part of the skin that connects the skin to subcutaneous fat and muscle tissue. The rough out leather is the underside of the grain-corium junction. If you were to saw a leather boot made with full-grain leather in half, the roughout would be on the inside of the boot. In other words, it's typical leather turned inside-out. I hope this helps!
@@CarlMurawski Thanks! If I am reading this right, the hair is on the epidermis side. Most boots are built with the epidermis side out. Roughout boots are built with the epidermis on the inside.
@@CarlMurawski You can always find them online. Also there is a great shoe brand called Bettanin & Venturi. They make beautiful norwegian welt shoes. You should check them out.
It’s entirely possible I’ve been misinformed, but the director of operations at Horween said that the overwhelming majority of their leather was from the food industry. Since most leather is from farm animals (bovine, goat, pig, etc.) it makes sense that their primary function is meat with their hides as a byproduct.
Carl Murawski Yes it makes perfect sense. But not all leather comes from horween. Most leather from other parts of the world do not use the leather from cows that are bred for meat, simply because they have different living conditions. They are typically behind barbed wire, and since they tear and scratch their skin their entire lives, the leather is not up to any standard that would suffice in the making of any other than very low end quality leather.
The Terrible Puddle Sadly, the animals bred for leather arent good for eating because of different feeding. Animals bred for meat are genetically modified to have more meat, And vice versa for leather. So sadly, in the leather industry the meat and carcass is thrown away. And vice versa for the Meat industry.
A part 2 would be great, leather it's a fantastic material, great video Carl

If it says "genuine leather" be wary, it's probably bonded leather. I would rather have vinyl

Yeah it’s usually not a solid piece of full-grain leather when it says that.
Another great video Carl. Nice work!
Thank you!

Also, I used to think Nubuck was the best leather for work boots, but I guess not. Thanks a ton for the info Carl!

Very informative. Thank you so much!
BTW Carl what’s your favorite pair of leather boots?
Oh boy.... I’d say my Nail Shank boots are probably my all time favorite.

Which is the best schott leather jacket?
I personally like the 618, but it all depends on the cut and leather you want.
Very informative video!

Most leather is actually not from the food industry. Common misconception, but the meat and leather industry do not go hand in hand.

When this video started I was afraid you were going to show leather made from dog hide. I enjoy your videos but that would have been your last video
Ugh, no way man. It makes me cringe that people even eat dog in Asia.
First
You are indeed! Notification squad!!!
Great video! Very informative 🙂
