Difference Between First Layer Cowhide and Second Layer Cowhide

1 Fiber density

The first layer of cow leather is derived from the outermost layer of the cowhide, possessing the delicate texture characteristic of prime-quality leather. Conversely, the second layer of cow leather often originates from deeper layers within the cowhide, resulting in a rougher and more rugged appearance due to the presence of multiple layers of cowhide intersecting.

2 Thickness

The first layer of cowhide typically has a thickness of around 1.3mm, giving it a more delicate appearance and feel. In contrast, the second layer of cowhide tends to be thicker, averaging about 1.68mm, which contributes to its sturdier and more robust appearance.

3 Manufacturing processes

The production process for the first layer of leather prioritizes maintaining its natural characteristics, minimizing the addition of substances. Conversely, the second layer undergoes treatment involving chemical materials or may be combined with PVC and PU films. As a result, the second layer tends to feel harder and lacks the softness associated with the first layer.

Additionally, the selection of cowhide from different parts of the cow results in varying leather textures. The first layer of cowhide typically feels smooth, offering soft and comfortable leather, while the second layer may feel slightly rougher and less comfortable in comparison.

4 Pricing

Leather goods crafted from the first layer of cow leather typically command a higher price due to their superior quality and durability. These products are known for their longevity and resistance to peeling. In contrast, items made from the second layer of cow leather are often more affordable due to their lower cortical content. However, they may be prone to bursting or breaking with prolonged use.

The quality of the first layer of cow leather is undeniably superior, as it is typically processed directly from the cowhide. This results in cortical fiber tissue with a high density, fine texture, and retains most natural characteristics. On the other hand, the second layer of cow leather is derived from the split layer of cowhide. In most cases, additional materials such as polyethylene are added during production. Consequently, the texture of the second layer is noticeably inferior to that of the first layer. Moreover, its air permeability is often subpar, making it prone to issues like cracking and deterioration.
