Leather from different parts of the animal varies in its characteristics. Different parts of a hide have different parts of a hide that have different properties in terms of strength, flexibility, durability. This makes some parts of hiding more suitable in use. RAVEN‘s today’s post:

Specifications of Best Parts:

1. Butt/Bend: Butt is the best part of the leather (hides or skins). Fibers in this part of the hide are tightly packed therefore making it the strongest part of the skin. It has a uniform grain structure and usually of good color. Most of the visible parts of the article (front panel) cut from the butt.
2. Shoulder: This portion of the leather is the second best with the substance thinner than the butt. The shoulder is thick and strong but tends to crease easily as this part of the hide is affected by the movement of the head. It may contain growth marks but it is firm and tight. The shoulder is strong with excellent durability.
3. Neck: The neck is the 3^rd in quality. It may be thicker, but has a loose growth marks, particularly in the case of hides.
4. Flanks/SHANKS: shank may vary according to the skin. They are usually the weak part. Since they are stretchy with wrinkles; they may or may not be used according to their quality.
5. Belly: Belly is thin, has loose in the fibrous structure. It is of poor quality. So, most of this part of the leather is used in the hidden part of the article. As an animal eats and drinks, its belly expands and then contracts again as the contents are digested. This action produces a stretchy, softer leather of varying thickness which is found at the edges of the skin.
