Hello,
I've recently bought a 4mm black, dyed through shoulder. The leather seems great on the top side, burnishes really pretty and has a real meaty touch to it.
It has however quite interesting, almost plastic-like finish on the backside - does anyone know what sort of finish that might be and is it a good indicator of quality?
Is it normal for tannery-dyed leather to bleed its colour on moisture contact? Should I protect the leather somehow if I'd like to make leather neck lanyard?
I wish you have a great evening. Cheers!
@radoslaw.landowski Maybe a PU or cellulose finish perhaps? I prefer a wax finish on the flesh side personally, but it's a pain to glue a lining to sometimes of you're not splitting it.
Does the 'plastic' layer cause burnishing issues?
