Different skins also behave differently and are treated during manufacturing differently. For examp!e, my sailing gloves are pigskin. Stiff when dry, soft and flexible wet. Tremendously abrasion resistant. I accidentally wore my cowhide cycling gloves on the boat once, and they disintegrated like wet tissue paper when i was hauling wet ropes.
