Most of us carry a lot more leather on our bodies than we realise. Leather jackets, leather pants, shoes, gloves, leather belts or watch bands. You name it, leather is everywhere and many people own accessories, garments, shoes or some other cherished item that is made of leather.
Jackets, trousers and gloves made of leather come under the heading of "leather clothing". The most common animal species used for clothing are cows, sheep, goats and pigs. This is because leather is almost exclusively processed from animals that are bred for their meat.
Leather clothing used to be prohibitively expensive and those who wore leather clothing drew attention to their status. Nowadays there is also an inexpensive range of leather clothing.

In most cases, fashion companies and clothing shops do not manufacture leather clothing, nor do clothing manufacturers tan the leather themselves.
