treated leather
Processed animal skin
Treated leather is animal hide that has been processed to enhance durability, water resistance, or appearance.
The treatment may involve oils, waxes, dyes, or chemical finishes: treated leather boots hold up better in wet conditions.
The phrase distinguishes processed leather from raw or untreated hides.
