Leathercraft Techniques

Now that I’ve got your attention, I’ve recently been to a supplier and picked up some veg tanned calf hide and considering constructing a leather apron. However...the flesh side nap is a tad fuzzy. I didn’t see how this compared to the leather in Phil’s video, but I’m curious to hear others’ techniques / suggestions how to tackle this issue. Would it suit to bond an inner like denim or silk? How would one best mitigate the issue of leathery lint? Suggestions welcome.
