Bridle / Harness / Latigo Leather

Hey, I'm searching online for the differences between these three types of leather, commonly used in belts, accessories, etc. This article mentions nothing about them, nor is there (quickly/easily) accessible information on Google. Any chance some endeavoring expert/writer can give us an answer?

Definitions

I'm not happy with the definition of 'full grain' and 'top grain' leather. In my career full grain was certainly applied to split leather e.g upholstery and shoe upper. In my experience full grain meant only that the grain surface was not 'corrected' in any way. I.e. Not buffed. 'Top Grain' as a type of leather had no currency in my time in the industry. It may have in some places but it's certainly not universal. rasp8 (talk) 01:04, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Human Leather?

Should this article mention leather made from human skin? Semi-Lobster (talk) 01:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bicast leather unsupported claims

The description of bycast leather on this page makes some assertions that lack references and contradict the Bicast_leather page and its references. They also contradict common experience (well, mine at least). I'm specifically talking about the claim that "Most of the bycast used today is very strong and durable product. The result is a slightly stiffer product that is cheaper than top grain leather but has a much more consistent texture and is easier to clean and maintain."

I don't believe these statements are accurate (well, it does have a consistent texture, until it falls apart). It might be better not to make a value/quality judgement at all - the technical description of a split leather with a pu coating, making it a cheap form of leather is fine without making claims for its durability etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenspedia (talk • contribs) 12:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Average yield of leather from a typical cow

Could it be incorporated into the article the average leather yield from a typical cow. Please forgive my ignorance about the rules if I have violated any. I am rather new, and it will only happen once.
