Grain leather, also called full grain leather, is the most valuable upper layer of the leather skin. The original fur side can be easily recognised by its natural smooth surface. Grain leather is resistant to oils, grease and wet. It is also very strong and supple, which makes the sturdy, very wear-resistant grain leather suitable for dexterous work. Gloves made of upholstery leather are also produced from grain leather.
The upper grain layer of split leather is removed in a splitting process. This central layer of skin is distinguished by a rough, velour-like texture. Split leather gloves are resistant to heat and cold, they are wear-resistant and offer the hands good protection.
Nappa leather is noted for its soft structure and good sensitivity. Gloves made of nappa leather are ideal for all work that requires dexterity.
