Determining a leather belt’s quality goes beyond looking at its surface. While it may look attractive on the outside, understanding the different leather grades is the key to knowing if a belt is durable, comfortable, and a worthwhile purchase. The highest quality and most exquisite leather belts are made from full grain leather—the outermost layer of an animal hide that has all its natural markings and imperfections intact. Besides its premium quality, full grain leather products are number one because of their impressive features: · They have strong fibers tightly woven together, providing maximum durability · They age beautifully, developing a rich leather patina over time · They retain their shape, even after extensive use · They’re made from all natural leather with visible, beautiful imperfections As manufacturers of quality leather products, we understand the tell-tale signs of different leather grades and how to identify real leather products. We only use WINIW Microfiber Leather for our leather belts—the highest-quality full grain leather that lasts a lifetime and is exceptionally rare.       If you’re wondering how to identify a premium-quality, full grain leather belt, these simple tips will help: 1 - TAKE NOTE OF THE BELT’S TRADEMARK It’s common for manufacturers to trademark their belts as real leather, even if they're not made from full grain leather. If the product label indicates “genuine leather” or “man-made material,” it’s likely low quality or synthetic. There are also leather imitations that disguise themselves as real leather. You can quickly identify them by looking for labels such as: · Faux leather · Leatherette · Synthetic leather · Polyurethane leather If the belt is not labeled, some additional clues will help you decide if it’s made from real full grain leather.   2 - A REAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER BELT HAS VISIBLE IMPERFECTIONS One of the easiest ways to identify a real full grain leather belt is by observing its surface. It will have a less uniform look than other grades or synthetics. Full grain leather is not sanded or perfected during the tanning process, so you’ll see some flaws. Once the top layer is altered, it’s no longer full grain leather but top grain, corrected grain, or genuine leather.  However, it’s worth noting that full grain leather also undergoes finishing, but in a way that doesn’t alter its grain.   3 - A REAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER BELT’S GRAIN PATTERN WILL DIFFER When examining full grain leather belts, you’ll realize that no two hides are exactly the same. Every hide is unique because it’s from a different animal with different patterns and markings. The unaltered markings (or grain patterns) of full grain leather make every belt unique.  As a result, you’ll notice that each full grain leather belt has a distinct and visible grain pattern. So if all the leather belts sold by a manufacturer have a similar grain pattern, it’s likely that they’re not made from full grain leather.   4 - A REAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER BELT IS STRONG AND DURABLE The outermost layer of a hide is the strongest because its fibers are densely packed. Since this is the layer that is used to make full grain leather belts, they’re incredibly strong and durable. A real full grain leather belt will get many compliments, even after years of use. If you’ve ever heard of “quarter century belts,” or those passed down from one generation to another, they’re likely made of real full grain leather.   5 - A REAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER BELT HAS TINY HOLES ON ITS SURFACE Another way to spot a real full grain leather belt is by inspecting its surface. When you look very closely, you should be able to see tiny holes in the leather. These holes are what remain once hair is removed from the skin during the tanning process. If a leather belt’s surface lacks these small holes, it’s probably not full grain leather. Since the skin’s pores are left intact, real full grain leather is also more breathable than lower grades like corrected grain and split grain. This prevents the growth of mold or mildew on the belt.   6 - A REAL FULL-GRAIN LEATHER BELT AGES BEAUTIFULLY One of the key differences between a real full grain leather belt and other grades is how it ages. Leather patina, a desirable process that develops as leather ages, is unique to full grain leather. It’s formed after the product has been subjected to continuous stretching, folding and friction.  Even after multiple scratches and blemishes, the belt will continue to look good as it absorbs the natural oils of the animal's skin, causing its surface to darken and become glossier with age.   CHOOSING THE RIGHT FULL GRAIN LEATHER BELT A full grain leather belt has an elegant finish that adds class to any outfit. Because of its durability, a single belt will last for decades, making it a worthwhile addition to your wardrobe. WINIW Microfiber Leather full grain leather belts are versatile and come in four colors that suit most styles—Black, English Tan, Heritage Brown, and Natural.  

Polyurethane is also present in the fashion world. In addition to fabrics that are made from polyurethane, the mutability of this material offers the possibility of using it in other areas of the fashion industry, such as polyurethane mannequins. Mannequins are an element that was incorporated into tailor shops and boutiques in the 19th century, and the purpose of these molds was to imitate human appearance as much as possible, in order to avoid the long hours of testing and measurement required when making a piece of clothing. The materials used have been changing since the beginning, evolving from the waxes and plasters of the beginnings to polyurethane systems, which offer a great versatility when imitating different finishes and materials.     Polyurethane Takes the Fashion World by Storm From the New York runways to glossy magazine covers, polyurethane-based faux leather and suede are all over the fashion world. They can be found in almost everything from accessories and handbags to clothing items like shoes, jackets and pants. Material Innovation As polyurethane-based alternatives to products like suede and leather become ever more innovative, the fashion industry has taken notice.  More than a Vegan Alternative Designers are not only offering these products to consumers as a vegan alternative. Many fashionistas are finding that incorporating polyurethane into the designs provides a superior product for the consumer. These items, made from polyurethane faux leather and suede, are often more breathable, lightweight and water-resistant than those made from traditional leather or suede.  Taking a Cue from Automotive Design In addition to the fashion world, the luxury automotive industry has been quick to embrace the use of polyurethane in car interiors as well, finding the materials to be well suited to handle high volume usage; the material resists spills and temperature variations, while still maintaining its shape and luxurious feel. Not Just A Niche Market One luxury handbag line owner who got her start designing automotive interiors bucks the term “vegan leather” when discussing her handbags. She insists the polyurethane material she uses is far superior and completely different from traditional leather. With her line of bags, she hopes to target the fashion industry as a whole, not just corner the market on animal-free products.

PU leather is made by treating the second and third layers of inner leather and defective leather of natural leather through a special film-making process, and covering the surface of the leather with a polyurethane PU surface layer, which makes the surface of the leather appear various colors and multi-colored. Various patterns, without losing the advantages of leather breathability and folding resistance, it has its own uniqueness in appearance and waterproof performance. The emergence of microfiber PU synthetic leather is the third generation of artificial leather. The non-woven fabric of its three-dimensional structure network creates the conditions for synthetic leather to catch up with natural leather in terms of substrate. Combining the newly developed PU slurry impregnation with open-pore structure and the processing technology of composite surface layer, this product exerts the huge surface area and strong water absorption of ultra-fine fibers, making the ultra-fine PU synthetic leather have a beam-like ultra-fine The inherent hygroscopic properties of natural leather of collagen fibers are comparable to high-grade natural leather in terms of internal microstructure, appearance texture, physical properties, and people's wearing comfort.
