try applying mink oil on it... it help alot!

 

[nicolnicolnicol]

Looks normal to me! It's okay for the underside of leather to have that hairy texture.

Suggest you just use it as per normal

The softer the leather the more hair it possess. (Learnt this from Johnny. But can't remember the exact words he said. Correct me if I'm wrong!)

 

[brianchia]

^ yeah, just mink oil and the hair should be less

^^@ITretard, I think heading to the store will be a better choice for your to make decision Give us a call before coming so that we can wait for you and answer all your questions about leather.



For those who are interested in leather products, here is another place where you can talk **** about leather and denims

the Minimalist

as much as I will be here talking about leathers, OGL will also provide leather informations at The Minimalist for people to know more about leather. It is a more specific place.

alright cool. Might try mink oil 1 day when I know where to purchase it

 

[Kuroba]

I never really heard of mink oil reducing the hairiness. If you're using mink oil that has some wax or silicone then its probably the wax or silicone that keeps the fibres lying flat and hence reducing the "hairiness"

How hairy the leather's flesh side is usually depends on how well it is handled by the tannery. The flesh side of the leather from top notch tanneries are usually barely hairy at all. Although that does not mean that the quality of more "hairy" leather is bad, as the finishing process is seperate from the tanning process.
