What’s the difference between grain leather and full grain leather? Which one gives you the best quality for your money?

My uncle is a huge fan of leather goods and always gives us explanations about them… even though no one pays much attention lol. His birthday is coming up, and we all want to treat him to a wallet, watch, or jacket. I know it depends on the specific item we’re looking for, but he always talks about these two types of leather, so I wanted some basic guidance on how to find a product he’d like that fits our budget (maybe around $80 per item)

it has to do with the part of the animal hide that is used for the leather. “Full grain” is considered the best since it’s made from the most durable part of the animal hide (includes multiple ‘layers’ of the skin).

personally i like this one brand called “satchel and paige”, they specialize in high quality leather, I have always been happy with their products! I’m sure you can find a nice gift from that shop, though you may need to spend more than $80 to get high quality leather + good workmanship.
