Are those YKK zips? Massdrop, do you know "genuine" usually means fake leather?

Rawshark"Genuine Leather" is the lowest quality real leather that isn't bonded. It is weird to say "Genuine Full Grain" because Full Grain is the best quality and you shouldn't really include genuine when describing that grade.

RainReignEven bonded leather can be called Genuine Leather, because they are made with (processed) leather and not synthetic PU. However Full Grain is the top quality leather out there so this is made to last. At $150-ish is just about the right price. For it's full MSRP, it would need to be branded and much better made & designed...just my 20¢

ShyanThe issue really is: what kind of leather is this for the price? The copy says "genuine full grain leather" that isn't how anyone normally says that something is made of Full Grain leather. Even This is Ground's site just says it's made of, "high quality leather and metal hardware." That doesn't tell me it's Full Grain leather. For the price I'd expect Full Grain, but it's weird to not outright say that it is.

RainReignTrue that...any leather craftsman worth his salt will know the type of leather by the correct term in his sleep and market them accordingly. However the leather used (specifically the toffee coloured one) does look like Full Grain and the zip used seems to be of good quality. To do this drop justice, I think the maker will need to be more specific with his descriptions.
