full grain
Hide's outer surface
Full grain describes leather that retains its complete original surface, with natural markings, pores, and texture intact.
This is the highest quality grade of leather, prized for durability and the way it develops a rich patina over time: full grain leather boots, a full grain wallet.
Distinguished from top grain leather, which has been sanded or buffed to remove imperfections.
