Members Leather_Supplier Posted August 27, 2007 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2007 Is it possible for you to define Crust and Vegetable Crust. I have never heard of that term.Thanks Sure, i'll try to explain Vegetable Tanning (Crust or Finished): A method of hide tanning which utilizes materials from organic materials such as bark instead of the traditional chemicals. Vegetable tanned leather has greater body and firmness than traditionally-tanned leather. e.g. used for saddle, book binding etc. Also, sometimes it is regarded as the only form of leather suitable for use in leather carving or stamping! Chrome Tanning (Crust of Finished): A method of hide tanning using chromium sulfate and other salts of chromium. It is more supple and pliable (than veg. tanned leather). It is usually used for making all kinds of leather good/garment or shoes. It can be made harder or softer... and has been the most popular due to its usage in the most traditional (basic) application. Chrome Free/Alum Tanned (Crust or Finished): A method of hide tanning using aluminium salts mixed with a variety of binders and protein sources, such as flour, egg yolk, etc. It is not as supple as either vegetable tanned or chrome tanned leather. Uses have been diverse, based on the needs and application of the buyer. Is basically used for making goods. Below is a description that best fits the Crust and Finished: RAW HIDE ---> WET BLUE ---> CRUST ----> FINISHED. Its a short description indeed. Often the crust leather is suitable for the direct making of the product. However, for some leathers a surface coating is applied. Tanners refer to this as finishing. Finishing operations may include: oiling, brushing, padding, impregnation, buffing, spraying, roller coating, curtain coating, polishing, plating, embossing, ironing, ironing/combing(for hair-on)and glazing. You can buy the crust, and finish it as you please by yourself. Or give us your sample and we will make the finishing! Hope this helps! It you have other questions, do ask me! I am here as a friend and a business prospect. Do email me if you have more interest. M. Hoda Quote

Hello beezachoppa, Yes, we are calling this Vegetable crust, if it has no additional feature to it (like an additional finishing eliment). If its plan tanned leather (with color as your wish) then its Vegetable Crust. My Minimum Quantity is 11,000 SQUARE Feet (which is approx. 1024 SQUARE Meter). The price is very attractive, which I would like to share with you through personal email.

Members TimberWolf Posted September 4, 2007 Members Report Posted September 4, 2007 quote "My Minimum Quantity is 11,000 SQUARE Feet..." That's ALOT of leather! I doubt anyone here would buy that much at a time....unless you own a commercial production factory. Good Luck. Quote Tim Wolf, http://timberwolfleather.com

So how am I expected to produce anything less than that!? I can at best give in to 5000 Square feet. But my regular minimum is 11000 Square feet. Otherwise the production dont manage. As for the quantity... there are customers around the world who take 10 and above containers a month! For leather, its a small quantity. However... I am here to do business ... and ofcourse make relationships....would do the best in me to satisfy. Regards, M. Hoda Quote
Members JustWakinUp Posted September 4, 2007 Members Report Posted September 4, 2007 WHOA ! 11,000 sqf. If i was that busy I would be extremely happy. It sounds to me like you need to approach larger sources such as , Zack White, Tandy and others. Quote
Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted September 5, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, A side is what.... 20 foot square.... 11,000 feet equals to about 550 sides.... That is alot of sides.... I dont even think the Tandy warehouse here has that many sides at one time..... Is there any way to get samples of your leather....? So we can get a taste and smell of it? There are alot of leathers out there that are tanned with methods that make it smell fowl and nasty.... How much a foot when placing an order like that, 11000 square foot, and what method would the shipping be? Looking like shipped by boat, loaded onto a freight truck and delivered to my house and off loaded with a fork truck.... That is going to be very expensive. What kind of numbers are we talking here?

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted September 5, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted September 5, 2007 Yes, 11,000 sq. ft..... I've calculated that at making a vest takes me about 40 hours, so one a week. This amount of leather would last me between 10 and 12 YEARS. I don't know of anyone here on this forum, or even in the leather working community that would purchase this kind of inventory. I would think that you will have to work out some other arrangements, especially since shipping as Wolvenstien has stated would be an astrinomical expense, being it comes from Bangledesh.
