hi, I bought some upholstery leather from amazon for a good price and want to use it to make to cosplay armour, but the interior of the leather is a white wool substance. is there any way to make this look and possibly even feel like what the inside of real leather does?

There's this fury called faux fur, if that's what you're looking for? You can purchase it at different lengths, and shave it. I assume you know sewing and stuff, for the most part. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, haha.)
How long have you been sewing for? Maybe I could help you some more with the pattern?
Yes, you can definitely make the interior of your leather look and feel like real leather. You can try using a faux-leather spray paint or a leather dye to give the surface a more authentic look. You can also use an acrylic sealant or waterproofing product to add a protective layer that will prevent wear and tear. Additionally, you can add some stuffing or foam to the inside of the leather for extra cushioning and comfort. Hope this helps!
To create a natural texture and make the wool side of faux upholstery leather look real, brush the surface gently to fluff the fibers. Make your fabric look authentic by dyeing or spraying it. For durability and a realistic appearance, add subtle shading with soft brushes and seal with a fabric-safe sealant.
