The chief kinds of leather are shoe sole leather, shoe upper leather, chamois, and suede. Shoe sole leather is produced from the thick skins of cattle and other large animals. Shoe upper leather is obtained from the thinner skins of calves, goats and other smaller animals, or by splitting heavy hides into thin layers. Chamois leather was originally made from the chamois, an animal that is similar to an antelope. Today, however, most chamois leather is made from split sheepskin, and is often used as a washing or polishing cloth. Suede leather is usually made from the inside flesh layer of a split cowhide. Leather wholesalers offer a wide range of leather or leather products at affordable prices.
