How do you compare Oily Nubuck and Roughout?

[@alastairleung1883]

Love these videos man. No crazy long intro. Just solid quality information with great visuals. And. A cat.

[@troynasello2085]

Cats make everything better! Cheers to you!

[@klinsmann5928]

Haha, and...... CAT😂 AWESOME MAN

[@MeteCanKarahasan]

Your cat's fur looks like suede leather.

[@rogerbello4649]

I have worked with leather for a while and this was the simplest and to the point explanation I have heard. Great job.

[@xkaosxvpx8165]

R B what can you do with suede?

[@deadmanwalking3791]

Toaster's harness is amazing

[@grombrindle]

Seriously, what a gem

[@picapicas]

Harnessed Toaster - yes! He is ready to pull Santa’s sleigh, people!

[@rosagray2897]

I am loving these informative videos. There's so much confusion with advertising that it's helpful to have someone with relevant knowledge break it all down for you. Thank you!

[@0pt1c]

I totally agree with you.

[@troynasello2085]

OMG! I LOVE THE LEATHER HALTER YOU MADE FOR YOUR KITTY CAT! It looks so great, and he seems to be ok with it. I love all cats, but flame point Siamese are just so special. Absolutely gorgeous cat & halter!

[@roberthindle5146]

Isn't he a Devon Rex?

[@CluelessTheLlama13]

Robert Hindle, thats what I thought as well.

[@troynasello2085]

He may be a Devon Rex, but flame point is just his markings. Such as "calico" or "mackeral tabby ". He appears to have "flame point Siamese" markings.

[@brandonrklassen]

Would you consider looking at how different types of leather gloves are made and the advantages and disadvantages of different ways they are put together?

[@obscuriosities]

I have such annoyance all of the time with dexterity and stitching etc from this. That would be awesome.

[@TheUnoko]

Right in the biginning toaster with this tiny little leather west so cuuuuute 😍😍😍😍

[@adamitohjelkvist4561]

Toaster has a +1 charisma harness. Quite elegant.

[@ebunni5862]

That explains why nubuck is so much nicer. I made the wallet you made out of a shoe! The leather I have laying around is much softer so it was a bit difficult to saddle stitch. I only had embroidery floss so I waxed it first and it worked petty good. 👍🏻

[@d3ada5tronaut]

a side effect of nubuck leather is that with the timbs I have they get shiny spots with wear. most of the tongue is smooth leather, and a whole ton of other small patches have this half-matte half-shine thing that's kinda cool. Im actually really excited to see how they shine up as time goes on, since I certainly haven't gotten all my use out of them yet

[@rtji0]

same here, i got my pair maybe half a year ago and i see bits of it that are shiny already

[@MrDidaxi]

One of the best channels I have come across, regardless the topic and context. Take care and give us food for thought. Cheers. George from Hellas.

This was super educational and helpful.... but, honestly, I was super appreciative of having your cat be a part of it. He or she should be in every vid.

Great video , I was still kind of confused when I read the difference between all the types of leather but you really broke it down , and explained everything super easy to follow. Thank you

[@VoxGav-bd9rc]

My ignorance... I always believed suede to be more high quality than nubuck. Thank you for correcting this!

[@Billy123bobzzz]

Excellent! I really like these videos that explain leather, its always been such a mystery and retail shops are no help. Your video is very educational, keto up the good work. Thank you!

[@annach.310]

Thanks for this clear and simple explanation! Could you please explain saffiano leather in some of your next videos? Brands like Prada make a huge fuss around their saffiano hand bags durability.

[@irwantirta1324]

my understanding is suede is light weight , nubuck is heavy weight. same thickness, suede is lighter i think suede is by product when leather split, its supple, and iirc my suede shoes last 3-4 years, rubber sole give up before suede part dunno how to condition suede, thats why not trying another suede after that lol nice video RM William or Blundstone :)

[@madelinemedellin1500]

Thank you very much for the break down and information. You used clear words that were not jargon to make me feel confused. I have some cowboy boots and have been trying to figure out what kind of leather they are to clean them correctly since all three pairs look/feel different. Thanks to your knowledge, I can safely purchase the correct products to shine them up.

[@esit94]

I love these videos! The more the merrier!

[@Nekoroaster]

Skateboarder love suede and nubuck shoes! More durable against rough griptape

[@Gersberms]

Very helpful, I never understood the difference before.

Thanks for this video. All these years I thought Nubuck was an artificial leather.

[@gunkrs]

i would love it if you did a video on the leather used in, like, a jordan 1 high or something. i've always been curious just how quality the leather materails used on most of them ACTUALLY are.

[@faas0mmer]

Top quality leather and Toaster content. Thanks!

[@testtest648]

Thank you! This was perfectly what i needed.

[@sophiagrace2671]

I love these informative videos and I love Toaster!!

[@sportyeight7769]

Suede is great for skate shoes. We need the resistance of leather, but still cheap enough to destroy them with the grip of the board on each kickflip

[@Pnner1]

Yeah and I've had one skate shoe pair for bicycle commuting mtbing and such for few years and it was the sole that wore out first. The suede leather is still in good shape

[@barrymantelli8011]

Yes! Kitty harness looks great! Would love to see more on that!

[@tomosluke446]

Thanks for such a great explanation of the differences between suede and nubuck leather.I’ve never fully understood exactly what nubuck leather was until viewing this video.Always had this strange notion that it was something to do with the cowboy boots of the Wild West e,g, boots worn by Clint Eastwood in the Good/ Bad/ Ugly movie.!!

[@cpadinii]

Another excellent video, keep up the great work

[@sgt_kissekatt6686]

I do leather work (and many other hand craftings) myself, not a proficionall but it goes hand-in-hand with other hobbies i have. And personally i definetly prefer having the leathers outer part as the outerpart and not sanded, I want it smooth as it is otherwise, with whatever wrinkles it may have. Not sure how big of a difference it makes but as far as i know that side is better at resisting water aswell, assuming you give the leather a coating of fat from time to time. If you dont the leather will soak up anything it can get near.

[@wagnera2417]

Always a good stuff. Thanks!!!

[@coryshook7648]

The rough out holds a lot more product that you applied to it like waxes and waterproofing agents inherently causing a quick rub or brushing to create better self healing for a lack of better words.

[@LeLilley1]

Great video! Thank you!! I'm learning!!!!!

[@bas.artistry]

Yay! Now to actually find some rough out leather boots for women... The illustration helps a lot thanks for that! I own some Toms suede sneakers (waste of $) but also nubuck timberlands (thrift find) and glad I held on to them.

[@bas.artistry]

-Also it would be cool if you made a leather good with the rough side out!

[@tombrown8800]

Want to see more leather info videos ! Toaster seems comfortable with the harness ( yea ). Looks cool too.

[@WarPigOnYT]

Really nice job! Ive been really enjoying your Vids and congratulations on all your success!💯🐷

[@ianturnbow7011]

Golden! Well done, Rosey.

[@soniao3551]

Could you do a video about how to condition suede as well as how to get rid of mould stain on suede? I have a pair of swede boots that have some aged mould stains. Some video say to use vinegar to wipe off mould. I tried that several times on my boots. Maybe the mould stains became less, but they are still there quite visible. And the swede become very dry after I use vinegar many times to wipe it. I really like your videos. They show things are useful and educational. Thank you.

Disassemble and make an analysis of a leather Apple iPhone case!! Is this good leather? How thick is it? Is it worth the money?

[@theoneandonly6204]

[@ainzooalgown7589]

Apple takes cheap stuff and put Apple logo on it and sells at 500% profit

[@Fermen80]

Well, the original Apple leather case is the case i use and it looks good imo. But, have to buy 3 of those cases during the lifetime of my iPhone. The leather looks beautiful but sliding it in and out my jeans pocket for months makes it ware around the corners until the plastic come through it.

[@rangercarnage]

So Elvis was cheap with his blue suede shoes?!

[@MrUlski]

SlippedBuck blue suede shoes was written and first recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955 but Elvis made it famous perhaps

[@miguelfonseca2511]

Not necessarily, the best suede you can have it’s actually rough out leather but not as the one he showed in this video, you can actually distinguish rough out suede from regular suede because the texture will be softer, the color will be more solid and even if it’s softer you can actually feel more body in the rough out suede leather. It’s not that easy to know them apart, but as a guy with leather and shoe experience, I’m telling you that it can be done and it’s actually worth to pay for those kind of items.

[@sean5971]

I'm enjoying your videos! Would you talk about leather fillers later on? How and if they work, how effective it is when restoring a pair of shoes with cracks or deep scuffs. Would they still be noticeable when re-colored with shoe cream/polish or dye? Thanks again for your videos!

[@gwendolinda]

Nice video, your channel really expanded my leather knowledge, I just to think my Air Jordan 1 were made out of good leather because they are made out of finished leather. Would be cool if you could review a pair of og air Jordan 1. It's an iconic shoe.

a week into subscribing into this channel and I'm already trying to judge all the leather products i can find in my house

[@Joseph_yy]

What about those suede suppose to be higher quality because they changes color when you brush finger through it? Are they really better quality or is it just another gimmick?

[@oliversplace263]

These info vids are amazing. Thanks!

[@johnnawoodby1060]

Can you do a video on how to care and clean different types of leather boots. I have water-resistant and all weather leather boots I'm needing to fix scuffs on. Also recommended products.

[@kaworunagisa4009]

I hate taking care of nubuck. The fuzzy side greases up pretty quickly, and the "hairs" (for lack of a better term) get torn/damaged, so I end up with a unkempt/old looking pair of shoes in about a month.

[@johnptabacco2159]

You asked for us to let you know we want more so I am. I will like and subscribe as well. Im not a boot guy but I have been collecting sneakers of 20 years now. Materials have become more and more important to me as I have grown up... I have shoes with Suede or Hairy Suede, Pig suede. I even have a shoe with what is claimed to be Wolverine Suede. I would LOVE to know the difference between all of types of materials. I also have shoes (mostly Ronnie Fiegs) that have a nubuck that is almost oily to touch. It's not wet at all but is soooo smooth and soft it feels wet. It's crazy I am very interested in knowing more about ALL TYPES of materials. Thank you sir.

Since coming across oiled nubuck, its been hard to try anything else again haha

I could've sworn suede was superior to nubuck and at least on par to inner skin smooth leather. Mid 30s here. Mind-blown. Nubuck it is from now on I guess.

[@MasterofPlay7]

next video: why shell cordovan is so expensive? what makes Chromexcel so special? And is shell cordovan the world's most expensive leather?

[@lth9520]

Shell cordovan is expensive because it originates from the hindquarter of a horsehide

[@MasterofPlay7]

​@@lth9520 he should do video on all these specialty leathers, would be interesting

[@mvrdamonxy7942]

@@lth9520 basically horses butt cheeks. Cordovan takes awhile to start to look nice depending on taste but once it breaks in its very nice leather indeed.

[@leslieridenour2734]

Just got new pair of Birkenstock Boston shoes and thought I was getting oiled leather and was surprised that they were Nubuck suede. I wasn’t going to keep them, was going to send them back but after watching your video, I’m going to keep. Can you spray weather/water proofing on nubuck? TY

[@1guitarlover]

Great video. Thank you!

[@TFM8]

Ok, so suede is of less quality than full grain? So if I am choosing between suede shoes/jacket in either of the material I should avoid suede? Why does it cost the same or sometimes even more? Is there a difference in quality between suedes? Great video, look at all these questions!

I bought a belt 10-12 years a go it's one piece but got a thick stitch going around the whole belt . When I first got it it was hard as hell how do I make it even softer thanks 😺

[@ianwalker4803]

Is this leather 102 then ? I'm still enjoying the leather basics explained .

[@miopera40]

The top harder thinner layer on full grain gives you more water/stain resistance and probably the best natural look initially, but also will crack easily overtime and will give you an ugly permanrnt finish when scratched. Oiled and waxed nubuck is better to me personally, will last longer looking good and will do well in water when packed with oil, though it will pick stains and scratches easily than full grain when used but it will smooth out nicely when conditioned. Rough out makes no sense whatsoever exposes the weaker grain on the outside and the harder more uncomfortable, prone to cracking and moisture trapping on the inside.

[@Charles-A]

On the contrary, it makes all the sense in the world. It is a rough finish that does not get scratched easily on rough terrain or daily use in say, a factory and with contact against sharp surfaces, which is why it is popular with modern combat boots and work boots like Nicks'. That leather can be simply oiled and you can use suede shampoo to keep it clean, and in many instances, you can simply apply Conditioner on the inside, although many boots have a cloth lining in the inside precisely to reduce rubbing against the grain,and they can be just as comfortable as grain side out leather footwear without any of your perceived disadvantages. Please don't speak out of ignorance

Hey Rose. Thanks for this video. I've got a question for you, I've got a pair of roughout Redwings in a very light color (Hawthorne Muleskinner is their official name for it) and I want to darken them without using a dye as I find the color to be too light for me. Any thoughts on what product I could use to do this? I've read some suggestions to use mink oil. Any thoughts on that or if anything else might work?
