Chromfreies Schweinsleder-Futter

Finally a pigskin lining that doesn't dry out or stiffen up after a few wears; the top-grain texture is noticeably more pliable and comfortable against my ankle. I've been using it to reline a pair of vintage boots and it conforms to the shape better than any synthetic I've tried.

Finally got a chance to use this for a boot relining project, and the softness is exactly what I needed. The chrome-free tanning gave me peace of mind about skin contact, and it cut and stitched without any fraying.

I needed a soft lining for some work boots, and this chrome-free pigskin is noticeably smoother against the foot than the usual synthetic stuff. Handles moisture better too, though I wish the tannery had offered it in a slightly lighter weight.
