This is the same leather as full grain steer but reversed with the flesh side out. Rough-out steer absorbs water especially through its larger pores. For longer wear select the rough-out that has a soft and pliable feel, with a smoother nap, not too loose-fibered and shaggy looking. Rough-out must be kept clean of mud and other drying ingredients or it will crack. A brass suede brush cleans it, though it spots easily and looks dirty because of its absorbancy. Some rough-out leathers are silicone treated as part of its tanning treatment, making them water resistent.
