Unprotected Leather
noun
Definition of Unprotected Leather
Unprotected leather is leather that lacks a protective coating. As a result, it looks raw and natural.
It’s typically more pliable, softer, and more breathable than treated or protected leather. And as the leather ages, it develops a rich patina that makes it even more appealing.
But since it lacks a protective coating, unprotected leather is more susceptible to soiling, fading, and staining.
Example of Unprotected Leather in a Sentence
