I'm not sure, but i think it is around 0.76g/cc, based on this:

leather density measure:

The vast majority of leather is sold according to its area. The leather is placed through pin-wheel or electronic measuring machines and its surface area is determined. The unit of measurement is square meter, square decimeter or square foot. The thickness is also important, and this is measured using a thickness gauge (the unit of measurement is millimeters, e.g., 1.8 mm is a standard thickness for a school shoe).

In some parts of the world, top-grain thicknesses are described using weight units of ounces. Although the statement is in ounces only, it is an abbreviation of ounces per square foot. The thickness value can be obtained by the conversion: 1 oz/ft² = 1/64 inch (0.4 mm).

Hence, leather described as 7 to 8 oz is 7/64 to 8/64 inches (2.8 to 3.2 mm) thick. The weight is usually given as a range because the inherent variability of the material makes ensuring a precise thickness very difficult. Other leather manufacturers state the thickness directly in millimeters.

7 ounces = 198.446662 grams

8 ounces = 226.796185 grams

it is an abbreviation of ounces per square foot:

1 (square foot) = 929.0304 square centimetres

1 (square foot) = 92 903.04 square millimetres

92 903.04mm^2 * 3.2mm = 297 289.728mm^3

226g / 297 289.728mm^3 =

226g / 297.289728cc = 0.760201173g/cc

I know that Pema Chodron refers to this in _Bodhisattva Mind_ (at least the CD version of it) I don't know if it was Shantiveda (the book is about his writings _The Way of the Bodhisattva_) who said it or if Chodron was sharing the story of what someone else said. But it is definitely in this the recording of the seminar.

You can put peanut butter on it and vegetable oil and it should come off!

Leather has to allow the movement of moisture back and forth for it to be leather.

This movement otherwise known as transpiration allows the leather to remain soft and pliable and has always been termed as allowing the leather to 'breathe'. If leather is completely sealed and the moisture flow does not take place then it cannot be classed as leather.

The breathability of leather allows small particles of moisture to move back and forth through the leather and this is what keeps it in good condition. Once the moisture levels in leather drop it becomes dry and brittle.

Any finishes used on leather have to allow for this movement of moisture.

Mourners do not wear leather shoes during the 7 days of mourning. They remove their shoes after the funeral and may put on cloth (or synthetic) house shoes. They may wear leather clothes, e.g. jackets. Mourners also do not sit on chairs, nor bathe for pleasure nor listen to music nor go outside or to work for non-essential reasons.

I have seen plastic where an artist took a real piece of leather and heated the surface of the plastic, then pressed the leather into the hot surface. The look of the leather melted into the plastic, and he peeled the leather off, to reuse for another piece. Then it is painted the color of the leather.

Another was is to use a painting technique of touching wet paint with a rag to make it look like leather. This method is explained in a book you can pick up at the paint store called faux paint finishes.

Rub Corn starch (or in a pinch, talcum powder) briskly into the stain with your fingers until the heat from the friction is felt. Vacuum or brush the powder off.

No, you cannot use suede and nubuck cleaner on your sheepskin boots. You should clean the boots with the UGG sheepskin cleaner and conditioner.

The average cost per square foot for unfinished construction varies according to the location. Some areas are about 135 dollars per square foot while others are higher.

yes No Hide is what is removed from the animal and it has to go through the tannning process before it can be called leather. You do not see leather on animals.

Although leather does stretch a little with use, the problem you've described sounds more like a foam core issue. Since you did not specify the location of the issue I am going to assume it is in the most common location… the seat and back. Polyurethane foam used for seating and back support, depending upon its weight and quality, can loose up to 20% of its original height. Additionally, the polyester wrap that surrounds the foam will loose approximately 50% of its height. Combined, these two problems can cause considerable aesthetical negatives on a piece of furniture. If comfort is not an issue then laminate 1-1 ½ " of aftermarket high-density foam to your existing foam cores. This will fill the vacancy within your leather casings and make a significant improvement on the ripples and wrinkles. If the problem is a combination of comfort and aesthetics then get an aftermarket foam core cut to size approximately 1-1 ½" thicker than your current foam cores.

I'm assuming you are going to run it in the washing machine. If you attempt to clean your leather jacket at home you will be left with a much stiffer and dryer version of the coat you started with. Only use woollite as a detergent---listen I do not recommend this but if its your only coat and cannot afford dry cleaning it will still be wearable however its overall condition will not be the same, color may also bleed in the water. Also make sure you dry it at a very low temp with a blanket so it tumbles a lot while drying. Dry time will be about 3-4 hours on a low heat. It is possible to spot clean but you will be left with a mark that is darker that the rest of the coat after it dries. The only leather coat you can clean at home and this is only to spot clean is a smooth leather jacket. (The finish will be really shiny, like letterman or varsity jacket sleeves.) These you can easily just wipe off with warm water. However in any other case concerning leather or suede it must be cleaned by a professional leather dry cleaner. We use a dry cleaning solvent that is infused with oils and detergents made specifically for leather hides to keep the garment in proper condition. Midwest Leather Cleaners

You can put a small hole in leather with an awl. If you need a larger hole (for a belt buckle, for example), use a leather punch. Commercial leather products, where many pieces are pierced at one time, may also be drilled.
