How
is leather sold? The most
economical way to buy leather is to purchase it exactly like it comes from
the tannery. In this form, leather is usually priced
by the square foot and sold as a complete hide. The size
is measured on measuring devices at the tannery.
Leather comes from the tanneries in various shapes and
sizes depending on its intended use and the animal from
which it came.
For ease of handling during tanning, large animal hides
are usually cut into smaller sections (sides,shoulders,
bellies, etc.) at the tannery. Skins of smaller
animals such as calf, goat, pig and reptiles are tanned and sold
in their original shape.
