As the topic says, is there a way to check it? Once, a seller said leather is not flammable. Is it true? Is there a specific way to determine it?

Set fire to one and see what happens?

I can't believe you just said that..:lol:

 

[CometHunter]

That's an over-simplification!

Really? By now you should REALLY know how to Google search IS LEATHER FLAMMABLE?

Google: Leather barely burns. If you hold a lighter to a piece of leather, it will shrink and curl, but it hardly catches fire or continues to burn.

Instead of "flammable", I'd prefer FLAME RESISTANT.

My question is.............why would you care?

Who knows? Perhaps Sabrina just wants to know how to differentiate between real and imitation leather (like pleather, leatherette, or Naugahide.

Yes. It doesn't want to burn but if it has to it will.

Why Shouldn't I care for genuineness when I buy something?

That's right. I've mistakenly purchased synthetic leather several times
