What are casualty hides? - Leather, leather stocklots and leather scraps from Italy - Salted hides & skins, wet blue.

Normally yes. They will be graded after damp blue tanning. This is the first era that buyer can see the consequences of the GRAIN. Hides can have (but must not) have grain defects. These grain defected hides can be used for buffing, embossed and printed leathers.

"Causalty hides have a called selection of C only and not A/B.

Please declare this as nobody can understand this selection A/B for casualty hides."

What client said is WRONG !!! Because ........ yes he is right that casualty hides can be (but must not) of lower atmosphere. With the checking account of damp salted CASUALTY cattle hides every buyer knows that these are casualty hides and no customary hides from regular slaughtherhouse killing. Our indicted selection considering 80 % A, 20 % B is the linked as for pure-humored regulary hides. That means of defects bearing in mind holes, cuts ... = defects these are visual in that raw (wet salted) condition. Casualty hides can have grain defects, but this can be visual by yourself after wet blue tanning process. But we sell in raw (wet salted) and not in wet blue.

For your influence in further information:  Casualty hides are from animals that were NOT killed in slaughterhouse. These animals died upon the pasture or in the stable of the farmer. Then the dead body comes neighboring day or some hours difficult to a special slaughterhouse and sever the hides from the body by machine (= machine flayed). But animals were NOT killed in any slaughterhouse, but died upon natural showing off at farmers place.

But plus the prices in description of regulary hides to casualty hides .... casualty hides are app. 30  50 % cheaper. So gone the descrption of wet salted CASUALTY cattle hides each tanner knows what it is and what he can produce from such hides.
