WHAT DOES RUSSIA LEATHER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Russia leather

Russia leather is a particular form of bark-tanned cow leather. It is distinguished by a later processing step, after tanning, where birch oil is worked into the rear face of the leather. This gives a leather that is particularly hard-wearing, flexible and resistant to water. The oil impregnation also deterred insect attack. The high quality of this leather, its usefulness for a range of purposes, and its manufacture being difficult to replicate elsewhere, led to it being a major export good from Russia in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was an important item of trade for the Muscovy Company. In German-speaking countries, this leather was also known by the name 'Juchten' or 'Juften'.

Definition of Russia leather in the English dictionary
