texture of material

Now leather does vary greatly in quality. The best leather is "full grain leather", with the next best being "top grain leather"-both made from the outer layers. Anything that isn't any of those 2 options is probably going to be far inferior/weaker. The outer layers of leather will have denser/stronger fibers and the outermost layer has the rich leather texture (the "patina"). Generally, textured leather will be stronger than smooth leather. Suede or any fuzzy/nappy texture is actually created from the weaker inside layer and sanded to create its surface.

Don't be fooled by misleading terms like "GENUINE LEATHER", "HIGH QUALITY LEATHER", "COWHIDE LEATHER", "SPLIT LEATHER", or "SYNTHETIC LEATHER". Also beware of the description, "made with full grain leather" which usually means only part of the glove is full-grain leather while the rest is made of cheaper material. There's more to leather than just being "full grain", such as how they tan it, but this isn't the place for that explanation right now.

"Genuine leather" IS real leather, but it's probably the weakest layer of the layer. "Bonded leather" is even weaker than that, made from discarded scraps of leather glued together. Bonded leather is similar in concept to "particle board" which is made up of small wood scraps and tiny chips and vastly inferior to "solid wood". Bonded leather is the weakest leather (lowest grade) and often painted over and textured to look like higher grade leather. "Nappa leather" is a silly industry term used to imply soft/supple leather but the term is ambiguous and doesn't actually have any distinction from just plain leather.
