Hey there, welcome to What is Leather. Before you dive deeper into our articles, reviews, and guides, we need to have a quick, transparent chat. This page lays out the boring-but-important legal and policy stuff in plain English. Our goal is always to be 100% honest with you, our reader.
The Information We Provide
All the content on this website whether it’s about types of leather, how to care for it, or product reviews is for general information and educational purposes only. We pour hours of research and personal experience into our articles. However, leather is a complex material, and methods can vary. We strongly recommend you use your own judgment and, when in doubt, consult a professional leather expert or the manufacturer’s instructions before trying any repair, treatment, or purchase based on our advice. We are not liable for any outcome.
Affiliate Links & How We Earn
To keep the lights on at What is Leather and allow us to keep creating free content for you, we participate in various affiliate advertising programs. This means that if you click on a link to a product we’ve reviewed (like a specific leather jacket or cleaner) and you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you.
Important: This does not influence our reviews. We call it as we see it. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in or have researched thoroughly. Your trust is worth far more than any commission.
Product Reviews & Objectivity
Our reviews are based on our team’s research, analysis, and, where possible, hands-on experience. We aim to be fair and balanced, highlighting both pros and cons. Product prices, availability, and specifications can change after we publish. Always check the seller’s website for the most current information.
