What is leather?

Leather is the skin of an animal which has been totally removed of hair. The skin goes through a complex and arduous process involving tanning, soaking, and cleaning before it can be officially called leather. Man has been using leather for over three thousand years, making it one of the most ancient materials used as a tool. Before the advent of tanning, ancient man would generally dress himself in the pelts of animals he had caught and killed. This untreated pelt would eventually decompose, and he would be left to find another suitable animal to make clothing out of. Because of tanning, man was able to preserve the hides of the animals he caught or tamed, and prevent any sort of putrefaction from occurring, for a reasonably long period of time at least. This is done by removing the presence of fat and water, substances that cause it to decay over time, in the skin.
