However in reality, said properties would lead, in most cases, into vegetable tanned leather used as soling leather while chrome tanned leather used as upper and lining leather. Keeping that in mind, one would realize that if one is going to use vegetable tanned leather as an upper material, it's more suited for work boots while chrome tanned leather would be better off used on a less demanding application. chrome tanning produce leather with a more "stable" handle that won't get affected as much by the environment, generally thinner and softer from the get go. Vegetable tanning produces a thicker, stiffer leather that could be molded and manipulated into shape using moisture (hence the reason it's used as tooling leather). for sneakers, when you're not needing those properties, it's usually cheaper way of getting around making leather products." "for work applications, chrome tan is really good. and for the majority of leather in this planet, everything else in the process stay exactly the same, from hair removal using salt water all the way to applying finishes. it's whether you put chrome salt or synthetic tannin powder into it. In reality, the only difference is what kind of tanning agent you put inside the tanning drums alongside the leather. In fact, my aforementioned description of ideal vegetable tannery is a mixture of hermes' volynka leather, bole tannery spruce bark tanning, horween chromexcel and J Redenbach leather sole copywriting (all of which are highly respectable tanneries in my book) that other brands tend to dickride when they put the term vegetable tanned leather in front and center of their product description. i mean yeah, that's the image a lot of brands want you to have in your mind when they're paddling their products. Not all vegetable tannery in the world is located in a bucolic english countryside where they let the leather sits in a mixture of pite river water from northern sweden and a proprietary tanning mixture dating all the way back to the 19th century on a centuries old roman tanning pits for 6 months. "chrome tanned leather is faster to produce, cheaper to produce and generally accepted that it's a lower quality than vegetable tanned leather." nothing personal, but mate, the information you presented in that video sucks balls. Last but not least, before i get to each individual points, i would like to apologize in advance to rose anvil for brutalizing your video. but if anyone want to make a video using information i presented here, feel free to spread the word. Why am i not making my own video as a response to this video? because i can't be assed. it pats them in the back and give them some nice ego boost for not buying common projects using some seriously questionable arguments and turd tier knowledge. personally, and i mean this subjectively, the video is nothing more than a good ego stroke for people who don't have common projects or luxury sneakers in general (which let's face it, going to be a majority of people on this planet). if anything, it's the furthest thing from the truth, i can guarantee y'all that much. it's definitely a long read though, as i'll address every point individually and try my best to explain it as clearly as possible.įirst thing first, this video is not the truth. and because of that, i think it'd be a good idea to nip the problem in the bud before the misinformations get out of control. i'm starting to get the vibe that this is like the gen z version of saddleback leather infographics. but recently someone in my real life circle used it as a reference. Aight, so this video actually came out a while ago.
