In general, thick animal hide can be split into two or more usable layers.
Grain – The grain layer is the outermost external side where the hair used tobe.This grain-textured layer is regarded as the most durable and soft. Grain
leather can also be used in other ways for different effects:
Reversed Grain – In this case, the scruffy side of the grainleather is intentionally used for the outside of the glove. Thesmoother grain side faces in to improve feel and dexterityagainst the hand.
Brushed Grain – This is where the smooth grain side isbrushed to a scruffy finish. Done mainly to blend away cosmetic defects,brushed grain retains much of its original durability.

LEATHER TERMINOLOGY
Split – This layer is the scruffier internal side of the hide. In the gloveindustry, it is commonly further classified into subcategories according to
the portion of the animal from which it came.
Side Split – This came from the back and side portions ofthe animal. The hide is densest here, yielding a consistentlydurable high-grade leather.
Shoulder Split – This came from the shoulder area wherethe hide is less uniform in density and appearance. The
result is a less durable, but more affordable leather. Shoulder leathercan be further classified into Select Shoulder and Shoulder (or RegularShoulder).
Belly (Economy) Split – The belly area yields the thinnest and leastconsistent leather.

Elkskin – Elkskin leather is softer and more cushiony than otherleathers. This results in excellent comfort and a significant degreeof natural insulation. Available in heavier thicknesses, grain elkskinis the leather of choice for our premium stick welding and drivinggloves because it combines excellent protection, comfort, andinsulative properties.Deerskin – Deerskin is very similar to elkskin except that it is notavailable in as thick a cut as elkskin. The medium thick weight isperfect for our Mighty MIG Expert™ welding gloves, providing abalance of dexterity, comfort, and insulative protection. In its splitleather form, deerskin is unbeatable for making the finest, high-dexterity TIG welding gloves.Cowhide – Cowhide is perhaps the most versatile leather becauseit is durable, sufficiently supple, and can yield a wide range of thick-nesses and distinct grades from a single hide. The balance it strikesamong durability, dexterity, abrasion resistance, and comfortmakes it suitable for anything from welding gloves and acces-sories, to driving and work gloves, to full welding jackets and otherprotective apparel.Pigskin – Pigskin is a resilient and moderately supple leather. Thefull hide is not as thick as cowhide, nor is it as dense. The result is alighter-weight leather that is suitable for making medium thick-ness performance gloves and apparel. Revco produces several stickwelding and MIG welding gloves with grain pigskin as well as thepopular light-on-your-shoulders DURALite™ jackets and pigskinsleeve Hybrid™ jackets.Goatskin – The high lanolin content of goatskin makes it a verysupple leather. Pound for pound, goatskin is a very durable leatherbut it is only available in relatively light cuts. Goatskin is reservedfor producing TIG welding, driving, and ergonomic gloves wheredexterity is important.Kidskin – Kidskin is the leather from a young goat. This leather issofter than goatskin and offers even greater dexterity, but is similarin the other aspects. Kidskin is used in TIG gloves where dexterity isof high importance.
