A Full Grain Leather Belt and Why That’s Important

Imagine you caught someone shaving the shingles off of your roof. You’d want to kick them below the belt, right? They would be taking off the toughest and most protective part of the roof, and now your house would have problems. Well, that’s what low class leather belt makers do to leather.

See, in their search to save money, they buy C and D Grade leather full of scars that nobody can use. Then they shave off the top part of the leather to get rid of scars and blemishes. But in doing so, they shave off the grain, which is the top layer and the toughest and most protective part of the leather, and then your leather belt just falls apart sooner than later. But those guys actually want the belt to break, then you have to buy another. So it creates recurring revenue for them. If there is a little bit of grain still there, then that’s called Top Grain leather. We buy the expensive A Grade Leather with the full amount of grain (full grain) leather and make leather belts with it.
