Types of leather

• Goat skin is very soft and flexible, so it is usually reserved for gloves.
• Lambskin is very supple and soft, but also delicate.
• Cow: the most common one and more resistant than the previous two.
• Pig is very smelly and usually presents small dimples. It is sturdy, but more difficult to keep clean than cow, as it resembles suede.

Good brands will specify the type of leather, especially if it is good (that is, if they are not... maybe they are hiding something).

Characteristics

• Suppleness.
• Low-shine.
• Lining in a natural material if you can afford it.
