peer agreement (net): +5full cowhide leather Explanation: cowhide means Rindsleder, Vollrind just means that the leather has not be splitted during the tanning. I hope the link is helpful. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-29 13:43:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe just another line of explanation. Because Vollrindleder is not splitted during tanning it is much more durable and offers more protection than normal cowhide, that would be splitted. For normal shoes you would hardly use Vollrind but you would for quality \"Lederhosen\" or leather jackets and of course safty boots. Here is another interesting link about leather types and qualities. It is German only but helps to understand the differences: http://www.vonholdt.de/qualitaeten.asp -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-29 16:50:52 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There is a difference between \"Full grain leather\" and \"Full leather\" (see link: http://www.aplf.com/en/glossary.asp?key_char=F) It is true that the German term \"Vollrindleder\" comprises both \"Full cowhide leather\" and \"Full grain cowhide leather\", however as you are translating about safety boots, I\'m sure that the unsplitted leather is meant. It wouldn\'t make sense that some suppliers offer some shoes in Rindleder and others in Vollrindleder (as in http://www.rukapol.at/produkte/bau.htm). Finally I found a site that very vivitly explains the leather production: http://www.lederhaus.de/wissen/index.php Reference: http://www.lederhosen-bauchmueller.de/start.html |
