thing about analine leathers is because it's still "open" rather that coated like non aline leathers, you can easily restore them to like new or even change the way they look entirely. yes they scratch easier, but it can e buffed out just as easily. you can even change the color. darker not lighter of course. however with coated leathers, once you scratch off that coating, thats it. it's scratched. yes they don't scratch or mark as easily, but once they wear out, they're toast. if you take care of analine leather it can and will last much longer than anything else.

How do you figure if you have a full grain, top grain, or simply bonded leather ?

[@jeffhicks8428]

thats a different question from whats covered in this video. you can tell that by just looking at it. but it's harder because most leather has solid dyes and gets coated basically painted over by plastic stuff. full grain is the whole grain, top grain is just the top of the grain split from the rest which becomes suede. bonded leather isn't even leather. same goes for analine, semi anline or coated/painted leather, just look at it. if you have analine or semi analine then you already know it's high quality because they generally don't make analine leather out of anything but the best stuff. less quality leathers dont get transparent dyes, they get solid dyes, and often other finishes like pebbling or other forms of embossing which are all artificial ofc.

With all due respect, this gentlemen does not really know what he is talking about completely. A quality Aniline leather, will have less imperfections due to being a more select hide. If there are any imperfections present, you will notice them due to the translucent dyes. That is not accurate statement about aniline and semi aniline dyes. Aniline dyed leather and semi aniline dyed leather is dyed the same way initially when the crust is drum dyed. The difference with a "Semi Aniline" leather is, it has an additional coloring process on top of the hide and then a clear coat is added. Talking how dense a hide is irrelevant. That has no bearing on the leather itself with respect to a hide that is used to be a semi aniline or aniline plus finish.

No, spits are the second cut from the top grain. The cell structure is much weaker. You rarely see this used in furniture unless in place of a vinyl match. Years ago BiCast was made from split leather.
