    Alhamdulillah just took me to my Dads Tannery. He always believed in vegetable tanning, but with time had to move forward, so upgraded his tannery with all these types of machinery imported from Italy, and the surrounding of this tannery is exactly the same, surrounded by ponds, agriculture, ... etc., but the process does not end here we even manufacture good and garments, [ my brother's department ] these processes are all so much in my blood because grew up watching and learning the business. Great video everything in detail, nothing is flawed and left behind so many details sufficient enough to learn the process through this video. Thanks to the entire team hope to meet you guys sometimes later.

    Great video. I love leather products and defend the use of it. It is a byproduct of meat and leather use has been around since the dawn of man. I see nothing wrong with the use of leather. I refurbish second hand leather bags and a good leather bag is durable for a long time if well taken care of. Thank you for this great documentary. :)

      They just gave you the common sense rundown. Same thing I saw on Dirty Jobs. I haven't actually learned a thing... What liquid are the hydes soaked in for the initial wash? How long are they tumbled? What's the tumble speed? Is there a limit/minimum on how many you should have in one drum? What effects do these variables have on the finished leather? I haven't even finished it yet and I hate to comment before completing the video, but this is the way it's going. I love when people say you can learn anything on CZcams...

    • @varun009
      @varun009 Před 4 lety +3

      Animal skins are 15% of the total value derived from most farm animals reared for meat and leather. Not using leather would kill demand for hides causing farmers to hike meat prices which would discourage meat consumption in-turn. Not everyone needs to go vegan. Not even most people. We just need to be responsible about where we get our protein in relation to its impact on the environment. I eat fish every day. I eat chicken once a week and red meat once in two weeks. This is a very good diet. People may or may not need animal protein to survive, I don't know. However, we do know for a fact that we don't need as much as we're consuming.

      @tomroland2315 Před 4 lety

      I don't work for Optima but I did work in the trade some time ago. Actually achieving a deep true black through dying alone is quite difficult to achieve. We kept our dye formulations a trade secret especially for clothing leathers. However, what we also did was redye black our failures, the stuff we couldn't get correctly color matched or samples we'd done which ultimately we weren't going to put in full production. That you could probably get at a lower price as long as you wanted at least 2 or 300 sq ft minimum. Back in the day we also sold cheaply into the former USSR so as to maintain prices in the US and European markets.

      @@tomroland2315 Thank you Tom for that informative feedback. I just assumed that it was cheaper for Vehicle Manufacturers to trim their vehicles in Black, be it leather or cloth. I guess I came to this conclusion, as virtually all vehicles across all brand names and model variants we find are trimmed in black, and but a few up market models in the luxury range, trimmed in Beige leather. My biggest gripe with vehicle interiors having black trim, is that it gives one a closed in feeling, whereas a vehicle trimmed in a lighter shade of beige or even light grey gives an air of spaciousness.
