Comparison of sheepskin, goat skin and cowhide

The following are the characteristics of leather clothing made of different materials:

  1. Sheep leather:
    Delicate and soft, with very fine grain, generally used for high-end fashion clothing.
    It feels like baby skin, the finer and more fleshy it is, the better the leather.
    But it is not as strong as goat leather.
  2. Goat leather:
    The leather surface is delicate and the fibers are tight.
    It is slightly harder than sheep leather, but strong and wear-resistant, with a high cost-effectiveness.
    It is suitable for making leather clothing.
  3. Cowhide:
    The leather surface has small pores, bright and smooth.
    It is more strong and not easy to break, and is often used for leather shoes and belts.
    Compared to sheepskin, most leather shoes and belts on the market are cowhide.

In short, when choosing the material of leather clothing, you can weigh the characteristics of different leathers according to personal preference, comfort and durability.
