• Breathable – Leather has natural pores through which air and moisture passes. This is the reason animals live very healthy lives with their hides. Their hides breathe. Leather can absorb perspiration and keep those who wear it comfortable. Man-made synthetic leathers do not breathe.
• Durable – Leather is strong. The strongest grade of leather is full grain followed by top grain. Leather will last at least four times as long as any man made fabric used for clothing. Cowhide is more durable than calfskin. Of the animal skins, calfskin is most durable, then goatskin. Calfskin withstands scuffing and frequent usage. Lambskin is least durable and can become damaged easier than the other skins.

• Comfortable – The most comfortable leather to wear next to the body is calfskin, goatskin or lambskin. These skins are as comfortable as man made materials. They stretch and mold to the natural curves of the body.
• Flexible – Calf skins, goatskins and lambskins conform to the shape of the body and ensure maximum comfort. The skins have a supple texture.
• Adjustable to temperature change – Leather pores contract in cold weather and expand in hot weather. Therefore, leather and animal skins are great choices for outer clothing garments.
• Fire resistant – Leather will not burn. This characteristic is extremely important for those who have the option of wearing outerwear leather jackets and pants.
• Abrasion resistant – The U.S. DOT National Safety Administration has performed tests on leather to determine its ability to protect against scrapes from falls. Their results have shown leather to be more abrasion resistant than any other known clothing material, including Kevlar. The random nature and intricacy of leather fibers gives them an inherent strength that can not be reproduced in man made materials.
• Water resistant – Proper leather care provides protection from water damage. Check out available products and how to treat different types of leather.
• Easy to clean – Many leather care products are available to clean and care for your leather apparel.
