Wet Blue Hides
We have our own wet blue tannery, This region is well regarded for the quality of the hides that are available for processing.
We employs the latest technology in conjunction with the most up to date equipment available, to produce a very stable and reliable wet blue which can be adapted to all forms of finished leathers.
Our production is basically New South Wales/Victoria, but other origins can be supplied on request and our wet blues have the following advantages:
- All hides are guaranteed tick free unless stated otherwise
- Hides from all regions can be supplied
- Deliveries are on the basis of table run with rejects removed
- All hides are batch stamped for identification and quality control
- Hides are processed directly from their green state avoiding the necessity for prior curing
The weights stated are the equivalent wet salted conventional weights. Areas given are estimates and cannot be guaranteed due to the vast differences in finished leathers.
