Since ancient times, man has used genuine leather to make clothes and shoes. The material used is the skin of various animals. Specialists call it a secondary product that comes with a slaughterhouse. Genuine leather differs not only in color, texture, density and processing methods, but also in properties.
Dressing
There are three main types of genuine leather:
Another option is combined tanning, with the help of which the yuft material is produced. To obtain this, chromsintannotannid and chromtannid tanning are used. But let's talk about everything in order.
Russian leather
For a long time it was customary to say that yuft is original Russian skin. It was especially appreciated in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. At that time, it was the only material that was distinguished by its exceptional naturalness. It was treated with natural seal oil and beeswax.
Many types of skin in those days fell into disrepair very quickly. "Thank" for the mold followed, which hit natural fabrics. In addition, insects acted on the skin. Yuft is the only material that these two factors were not afraid of.
Characteristics
For the production of genuine leather, the skins of various animals are used: cows, pigs, horses, bulls, etc. Yuft is a material that can be made from any of the above skins.
Yuft leather is one of the most durable materials. After preliminary cleaning and several types of treatments, it remains the same dense and solid. In addition, thanks to the use of natural fats, the skin remains supple (even on the harshest frosty days). Yuft boots will never “stand up to the stake”, will be soft to wear, comfortable and comfortable for the foot. Surely because of its strength and reliability, yuft gained such popularity.
Another significant advantage is the affordable cost. Yuft is a leather that belongs to the category of inexpensive, but high quality. It is not even inferior to the rubber now popular. This type of skin is perfectly breathable, which allows the foot to breathe. And she doesn’t take style and beauty.
We can also say with confidence that yuft is heat-resistant, environmentally friendly, moisture-resistant, and durable skin. Among the materials that are widely used for the manufacture of shoes, there is not one that would give such excellent thickness indicators.
This type of skin is subjected to such a method of treatment as galling. Ash and natural fats not only make yuft more flexible, flexible and durable, but also make it resistant to numerous bends and stretching. Experienced shoemakers say that the threads will break faster than the yuft.
Views
This type of skin is divided into two main types:
- The shoe yuft from which the yuft boots are made.
- Sandalwood, which is used to make summer shoes (moccasins, sandals).
A shoe-type yuft is most often used for sewing durable and reliable army boots and boots. There are also ordinary boots from this type of leather, which are designed for everyday wear. Thanks to proper waxing, yuft boots do not lose their presentable appearance for a long time, which makes their purchase economically justified and profitable.
Sandalwood yuft is not processed with ash and a lot of fat. Since it is used for the manufacture of shoes for summer socks, more attention is paid to the production of protection against direct sunlight (fading and fading of the skin).
Advantages and advantages
Experts say that the right methods of processing yuft can fundamentally change the focus and properties of this type of skin. In this case, yuft leather can be used for the production of outerwear, such as sheepskin coats. There is no doubt that in such a "fur coat" it will be warm and comfortable even in the most severe frosts.
Mother Nature herself took care of the man, giving him such natural material as yuft to help him. This type of leather is very often used to make specials. shoes. In a hot workshop or when performing hours of work, a person always has increased sweating. If shoes will also contribute to this, then you don’t have to expect any convenience or comfort. Yuft is a material that will never provoke increased work of sweat glands. On the contrary, boots made of this skin “breathe” perfectly, promoting the natural evaporation of moisture from the surface of the skin of the foot.
By the way, shoes designed for many hours of wear are very often made of the sandalwood yuft leather type. For example, many workers in the food and technology industry, medicine, cooks and employees of cleaning companies prefer yuft shoes. It is hope, durable, durable and inexpensive.
