split leather The fourth and final type of leather is split leather. Split leather is unique in the sense that it’s the only type of leather made from the fibrous area of the cow hide that’s leftover from the processing of top-grain. When the leather is split, the top-grain and drop splits separate. The leather worker can then split the drop split into two more pieces: a middle split and a flesh split. This split leather typically has an artificial grain applied to the surface to mimic the characteristics of other, higher quality leather.

So, what types of products are made using split leather? While there are always exceptions to this rule, you’ll generally find that work gloves and some boots/shoes feature it. Because the quality is sub-par when compared to top-grain and full-grain, however, it’s rarely used in the production of jackets, belts, handbags or other accessories.

Top Grain Leather vs Split Leather. All leather hides have to be split because a hide is too thick to upholster or use in any type of manufacturing. The hide goes into a machine where a blade 'splits' the hide into two layers. The bottom layer is known as Split Leather.Jan 23, 2013
