What is double face
Fur or leather material with double-face processing, or double face, is a double-sided material without a reverse side. Both sides of the material are obverse and (most often) both are decorated with some minimal decoration in the form of a special pattern or color. Most often, there is fur on one side of the product and leather on the other (the so-calledMay mezdra). But there are also exceptions. Sometimes fur or leather is used on one side, and velor or faux suede on the other. To create a double face, almost all types of leather and fur are used, except nubuck and nappa, as they are processed from the fur side.
Some manufacturers make a pseudo double face, emphasizing the contrast of colors and materials between the front side and the back. But such decoys cannot be worn inside out.

The fact is that processing double material can take from two to three months, during which the processes of pickling, tanning and processing of the material with chemical materials alternately occur.
The matter is not limited to simple processing of the material: in many jackets, tailors have thought out double-sided collars, cuffs and even their own pockets on each side.
