What’s the difference between first layer cowhide and second layer cowhide?

Natural materials can be used on ordinary leather handbags, totes, shoes, clothes, and furniture. Everyone will prefer cow leather, which is more expensive. Now let’s carefully distinguish them and see the difference between them.

I Difference between the first layer cowhide and second layer cowhide.

1 Different fiber density

As we all know, the first layer of cow leather comes from the first layer of cow leather, so the skin has the delicate texture characteristics of the most primitive cow leather, but the second layer of cow leather is different. Most of the second layer of cow leather mainly comes from the two or even three layers of cow leather in the cross-cutting of cow leather, so its leather appears rough and rugged.

2 Different thickness

The thickness of the first layer of cowhide is generally about 1.3mm, while that of the second layer of cowhide is about 1.68mm, so the material of the first layer looks more delicate.

3 Different manufacturing processes

The first layer of leather is exquisite in the production process and will not add too many substances, but the second layer is different. It is also made by spraying with chemical materials or processing and combining with PVC and Pu films. Therefore, the second layer of leather appears relatively hard and not soft enough.

Since the cowhide from different places on the cow is selected, the leather feel made must be different. The first layer of cowhide feels smooth, and the leather is soft and comfortable, but the second layer feels a little rough, which is not as comfortable as the first.

4 Different prices

Generally, the price of leather goods made from the first layer of cow leather is relatively high, and the material of leather goods is also durable, so it is not so easy to peel off. However, the second layer of cow leather is relatively cheap because of its low cortical content, and it will burst or break after long use.

II Is the first layer of skin good or the second layer of skin good?

By introducing the above points, the quality of the first layer of cow leather is undoubtedly good because most of the first layer of cow leather is directly processed. The cortical fiber tissue it produces has high density, fine texture, and most natural characteristics. However, the second layer of cow leather is the split layer of cow leather. Almost all the second layers of cow leather will be made by adding some polyethylene and other materials. Therefore, The texture of the second layer of cow leather is much worse than that of the first. The air permeability of the second layer of cow leather is not good, which is prone to cracking and other phenomena.

The above is about the first layer of cow leather and the second layer of cow leather. I hope it will be of some help to you. Thank you for your reading and attention.
