Here’s my pick for your eLearning video of the week: Leather 101 — Full Grain, Top Grain, Genuine, and Bonded Leather Explanation.
How about that leather chair, or leather bag you purchased — is it quality leather? Have you ever wondered why some leathers wear out, some last long, and some, well, they turn out to be plastic with little leather fibers?
Since my son and daughter-in-law are in the leather belt business, we’ve all taken a look at how leather is tanned, and what makes some leather better. As part of improving their belt business, my son upgraded their leather belts to a higher quality, yet some older customers complained, wanting the older, less quality leather belt. They actually think it was higher quality. Funny how things work out.
Here is a video brought to you by a company called Saddleback Leather. They make leather bags and claim — “they’ll fight over it when you’re dead” — it has that kind of quality that lasts. I don’t own one, so I can’t give you my experience, but I love the video where you learn about leather hides.
Take a few minutes and increase your learning. This is a good one for kids too. Homeschooling, I would use it for sure.
