Why YSK: The term “Genuine Leather” is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

      Tan me hide when I’m dead
      So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
      And that’s it hangin’ on the shed!
      Altogether now!
