id just drop 3-4 star rating "got impression of good quality leather, but upon arrival noticed that its obviously Bonded leather (ground leather bits and glue)
or something like that
and then some good quality light photos
I guess I'l do that, thanks a lot.
NP
in future you want to be extra carefull from anything that reads "genuine leather"
even on your nearby stores
as it can be anything really
as long as it has some majority % leather on it :
COME ON!!
It wasn't even epacket.
but nothing wrong on most Bonded/pleathers TBH
sure they dont last you generations like stuff made from full-grain if its taken care off
but they get patina and stuff too nicely
worst case scenario its some really really shit latex glue
and it melts under direct sunlight on hot summer day ;P
I usually only buy thing that have customer pictures, but that was the only one of the type I wanted.
didn't know Tervy is the resident Leatherman
but yeah 150cm long 2-3cm wide and 3-5mm thick leather strips can be upwards to 15-50d ollaroos depending on quality,thickness etc
so indeed 35 from "ready" product is quite nice even for bonded stuff
make me a leather gag
i wanted to start it as hobby but never found time
D-daddy
>leather >gag, please just get jawbreaker like normal children
They do advertise it as real leather cut from cowhide with an identification chart for blemishes one would only see on real leather
But you can tell it’s bonded, even from the product photos
tbh from punisheds photos it cant be 100% sure its bonded
without tear test
I’m aware that “real leather made from cowhide” means dickall.
and that would ruin the product
heres some example of chinese leather prices https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WUTA-High-Quality-Full-Grain-Veg-Tanned-Leather-Picece-Handmade-DIY-Genuine-Leather-Fabric-Cowhide-Tooling/32837037293.html?
to give perspective
Kek, the reviews
Someone busted out the calipers and got chinked.
Any cow product was expensive as all hell over there.
probly people being dumb as fuck
as leather is not uniform on animals its hard to promise that uniform 2mm on non-split leather
specialy if you buy whole side and start going tru it with micrometer to find thinnest spot
But look how they advertise it
2mm is probly the delta
