Top grain leather - Hair side
The grain side refers to the smooth, grained surface facing the hair side (or the outside, if no hair is present) in leather. Each type of leather has a unique characteristic grain pattern. The pore density is much stronger cow leather than on pig leather. The grain pattern can be changed by embossing and colouration. Even split leather can be coated in such a way that it receives the appearance of a top grain leather.
The side of the skin facing the meat of the animal is called the flesh side.
Types of graining: fine pore leather - coarse pore leather - fine grain leather - coarse grain leather
The original grain pattern already differs on the same animal skin surface. In the middle of a skin, the leather is mostly fine-pored, and towards the edge it becomes more coarse-pored. The even skin structure is often traversed by deeper natural wrinkles.
On same skin: fine pored -> transition -> coarse pored.
The main grain is partially traversed by deeper natural folds.
When cutting, care must be taken that the grain pattern is chosen as symmetrically as possible.
Graining of different animals
Natural grain pattern: Sturgeon leather - Elephant leather - Crocodile leather
Natural grain pattern: Pig leather - Stingray leather - Ostrich leather
Natural grain pattern: Eel leather - Aga-toad - Atlantic stingray leather
