Cowhide and sheepskin are just a big classification, and there are different types of leather below;
1. Sheepskin:
Sheepskin mainly includes sheep Leather and goatskin, which vary.
1. Sheepskin
The characteristics of sheepskin are that the skin is light and thin, feels soft, smooth and delicate, has small pores, is irregularly divided and is oblate. Sheepskin is a relatively high-grade leather material for leather bags.
2. Goat leather:
The structure of goat leather is slightly stronger than sheep leather, so the tensile strength is better than sheep leather. Since the surface layer of the leather is thicker than sheep leather, it is more wear-resistant than sheep leather. . The difference from sheepskin is that the grain layer of goatskin is rougher, not as smooth as sheepskin, and has a slightly worse feel than sheepskin.
Second, cowhide:
Cowhide mainly includes yellow cowhide, buffalohide, yakhide, and cowhide.
1. Yellow cowhide:
It has fine grain, thick cortex, high strength, and good fullness and elasticity. Its characteristics are that the finished products are beautiful, comfortable and durable.
2. Yak leather and yak leather:
The grain surface is worse than that of cattle, but other properties are generally similar.
3. Buffalo leather:
The surface is rough, the fibers are loose, the strength is lower than that of yellow cowhide, and other properties are close to that of yellow cowhide.
