For the LOVE of Leather, Reason 4 - Durability
another reason we LOVE leather.
Today’s reason,
“I love how durable leather is.”
AS MANKIND’S OLDEST TEXTILE, LEATHER WAS TRADITIONALLY WIDELY USED TO CREATE CLOTHING, CONTAINERS, AND EVEN SHELTER BECAUSE OF ITS NATURAL DURABILITY AS WELL AS ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A LUSTROUS SHEEN AND COAT FOR YEARS & YEARS.
Leather won’t crack or split after years of use, instead, it will get softer. Leather is sun and heat resistant. Leather has a dense, tangled, natural, and complicated fiber structure. It is extremely tangled and intertwined on a microscopic level. This intertwined fiber structure allows it to be breathable, stretchable, & durable.
Simply put, leather lasts and lasts…
Without the strength, flexibility, and mostly the durability of leather – Indiana Jones wouldn’t be able to do all this, with his whip!
