Pigskin has good air permeability and moisture permeability, high strength and wear resistance; Cowhide has high gloss, tender and smooth skin, soft skin, wear resistance and high tensile strength.

Disadvantages of pigskin and cowhide:

Pigskin has coarse pores, rough dermatoglyphics, poor aesthetics, fullness and elasticity. Because the leather surface is uneven, the leather surface is rough and soft. The disadvantage of cowhide is that high-grade cowhide is expensive, and cheap cowhide is easy to crack or even break after a long time.

Cowhide is the skin of an animal cow. Because cowhide is delicate and durable, it is often used in handicrafts. Cowhide is also a Chinese vocabulary, which can be used to describe the hardness of objects, and can also be used to refer to empty words.

The subcutaneous fat of pigskin is developed and grows deeply, running through the whole dermis, and the hair roots are concentrated in a fat cone. After making shoes, the grain surface is rough and the smoothness is not as good as that of cowhide. Secondly, pigskin fiber bundles are thick and closely interwoven, so they have great strength and wear resistance.

Extended data:

The grain surface of pigskin is uneven, the pores are thick and deep, the pores on the skin surface are sparsely distributed, the nipples on the grain surface are obviously raised and the grooves are deep, which makes the grain surface of pigskin much rougher than other skins. Obviously, forming a three-point handle is the unique style of pigskin.
