[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably cured and tanned in China. God only knows what kind of awful chemicals they use over there. Probably full of lead, arsenic and formaldehyde. Properly tanned leather should have a sweet smell. Is there ANYTHING the damn Chinese can’t f#ck up? [/quote] ALL leather tanning uses terrible chemicals. I work with hazardous waste and most companies aren’t even able to take the fleshings, etc. Unless you’re buying vegetable tanned leather (which is a very small percentage of US leather), you’re getting all the chemicals you listed above. The chemicals from vegetable tanners still include things like sodium hydroxide and ammonia. As I know DCUM loves a reference: https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/ch09/final/c9s15.pdf [/quote] The attachment was helpful. Thanks![/quote]
