Some Facts About Leather
Leather, along with its counterparts, animal skins, and hides, has been treated with chemicals to preserve them and make them suitable for use as clothing, footwear, handbags, furniture, tools, and sports equipment.
The term hide, referring to the skin of larger animals (e.g., cowhide or horsehide), has its counterparts in the term skin, which designates the skin of smaller animals (e.g., calfskin or kidskin). The preservation process employed is a chemical treatment called tanning, which converts the otherwise perishable skin to a stable and non-decaying material. Tanning agents include vegetable tannins (from sources such as tree bark), mineral salts (such as chromium sulfate), and fish or animal oils. Although the skins of such diverse animals as ostriches, lizards, eels, fish, and kangaroos have been used, the more common leathers, along with their counterparts, come from seven main groups. These groups include cattle (including calves and oxen), sheep and lambs, goats and kids, equine animals (including horses, mules, and zebras), buffalo, pigs and hogs, and aquatic animals such as seals, walrus, whales, and alligators.
