I think, that while it's still on the body, it's called skin. When You make a couch out of it it's leather. Where hide comes in, I have no idea. But in Poland we use the same word for skin, leather and vegetable peels.
When you skin an animal, you have two choices. Cure it, or tan it. If you just let the skin be, it will rot. You can cure it by coating it in oil, fat, or salt. That will turn into a cured hide which can then be used like other fabrics. Alternatively you can soak the skin in a solution of quicklime (ground limestone dissolved in water.) At that point you scrape the hair from the soaked skin. Then you soak it in a barrel of weak tannin, followed by strong tannin. That becomes leather. There's a few more details, but that's the gist.
Two entirely different processes. Hides are skins cured with oil, fat, or salt to prevent them from rotting. Leather is a skin that gets soaked in quicklime, scraped, soaked in weak tannin, and finally soaked in strong tannin to turn the skin into leather.
In traditional tanning different chemicals are used to process leather. Brains, egg yolks, urine, they all work. The urine isn't a requirement, it's a possible chemical compound a tanner may choose to utilize.
While you can do it that way, I don't know the process. I know how to make tannin by soaking oak logs in water.
And yes, that is probably the first way we figured out how to do it, but as I understand it, that's a very stinky process, and to be totally honest, I found tannin made from oak to be rather smelly.
There probably was at the beginning of the event but it gets stupidly hot in rooms with that many people, even with ac blasting.
This doesn't look like International Mr. Leather, which is the event I'm familiar with, but it gets hot as balls in the congress hotel for that time. People come in with a lot of stuff and then take it off as it gets hot, in both meanings of the word.
I took another approach since I could have sworn I've seen the image before in pre-AI days; but all I managed to do was get my algorithm super confused by searching Leather World too much.
It just looks like hes holding it with a cupped hand under the bottom and you can only see his thumb. Its just too deepfried to really say anything for certain.
I hate that we cant tell what is real or not anymore
Amen. Everyday I get closer to a small acerage in nowheresville. I'd rather be close to cocktail bars and the opera, But running away is looking better and better.
Those Sofas fuck back.
There isn't even that much leather in the picture. But a lot of skin.
To be fair leather is skin.

Hide is just leather with the hair still on it I think (not sure).

Thanks! I’m saving this for the imminent apocalypse so I can make my Mad Max armor!
You'll want to look up some tutorials. I oversimplified the process.
Do you recommend bone spikes for the shoulders or should I go for more of a BDSM ninja vibe?
But when does the piss come into play? I always heard that tanning leather involves piss.

No, the urine is a requirement. I can't get off otherwise.

first you need to pee on it to show dominance, then you can call it leather
Bruh Polish wilding out here again. What is the word something like koža?
?
we dont have 'ž'
the word for skin/peel/leather is "skóra"
Leather futures o.o
Much in the same way that a pickle (gherkin) is a cucumber. But they ain't equivalent

What do you think leather is?
I was looking for something that said “dad likes leather”
Something that says, "leather daddy"?
They have "daddy likes leather." Is that okay?
I'm afraid I went and blue myself too early.
Where is this leather world, asking for myself, definitely not for a friend.
Uhhh.... Go Seahawks?
Claims to be Leather World
Mostly Hairsuits
Enjoy your fire hazard gentleman
Good news. Half of these folks are firemen.
is this ai? or what's up with the hand of the guy on the right?
Been around before Ai. Reverse image search finds it in 2018 the first time.
Pixel rot.
I took another approach since I could have sworn I've seen the image before in pre-AI days; but all I managed to do was get my algorithm super confused by searching Leather World too much.
I did reverse image search, since i too tought this was rather old. It's from 2018.
Better than aimlessly searching Leather World. Lol. I need to use reverse image search stuff more...
I think it's a normal hand. It just blends in with his shoulder.
It's too deepfried to tell, but there are a bunch of messed up areas.
That one with the hand looks normal, there is 5 fingers, it’s just pixelated
I was looking at the hand holding the cup.
It just looks like hes holding it with a cupped hand under the bottom and you can only see his thumb. Its just too deepfried to really say anything for certain.

Man I hear ya, lately I’ve just had this dream of living like a hermit a cave out in the mountains
It looks like the guys in leather are photoshopped into the image.
I hope so
