Why YSK: The term “Genuine Leather” is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

    Leather is usually processed at a tannery. This process, besides stopping decomposition almost entirely, makes it waterproof.
