The raw materials used for leather clothing include cowhide, pigskin, sheepskin, snakeskin, fish skin and other animal skins.

1. Pigskin

Because pig hair passes through the cortex and reaches the inner layer, pigskin has better air permeability and moisture absorption than cowhide. However, the pores are enlarged, shaped into a "pin" shape, and the skin texture is rough, which is not as beautiful as cowhide. The shortcomings need to be corrected after processing.

2. Cow leather

Buffalo leather has sparse fur, rough sticky surface, and obvious nipple-like protrusions and wrinkles. The texture of the leather board is thin, large and thick. It is often used to make shoes and mechanical wheel belts. It can be made into bags after processing and softening.
