So, I go directly to dispute, no talking to the guy first then?

at first the dispute is between you and the seller

only if you two don't come to an agreement it can be escalated higher

funnily enough that can easily be leather

afaik

not just your pure hide

but glue and ground leather scraps

aka "bonded leather"

or "pleather"

(glue in this case is polyurethane or if you are really lucky latex)

You think?

yep

thats bonded

Still not "genuine leather" right?

relatively thick bonded leather at that

well it its "genuine leather"

<:alithink:327930371796893698>

just bonded strips of it~ (aka worst quality(not for all cases))

if you want what most of people consider "proper leather"

Don't buy chinese?

you search for "full-grain" "top-grain" or belting leather

even split leather if you want to cut costs

if someone sells shit like that as "full-grain" then yeah your complain would be on the spot

😭 guess I'll suck it.

how much it was

35$

plus free epacket

wait.. what the fuck

Yeah, it was the only listing for it.

I wanted it like that, with that kind of hooks, I just thought that the material would be better.

ahh they are suspenders and quite thick at that

yeah 35 if they are handmade aint bad price

leather is quite expensive even from china

how uniform the leather btw

is there color differences, scratches,scars,veins

real stuff tends to have them but obviously ground and polyurethaned does not

None, it's pretty uniform.
