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.
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
