Using only the best quality leather produces the best quality product
THE WAG INC. uses J & E Sedgwick & Co Ltd ~ Specialist Curriers & Leather Manufacturers for leather that has been traditionally tanned in pits to provide the best start to the currying process. There are three Quality Control checks in the production of Sedgwick’s leather. These are vital to ensure that the leather and the final product are of an excellent standard.
1st Quality Control
Leather on the Rounding Table is inspected for weight, open & flay damage and growth.
Leather is Split & Shaved to required substance. Every piece of leather is tested for thickness.
After shaving, the leather is surface cleaned then re-tanned. A special mixture of Tannins and Fatliquors ensures that the leather is supple and workable.
The Currying process is the most important part of leather manufacturing. So, it's no coincidence then that the people who handle the jobs for this step are the more experienced staff. The Currier hand-sets the leather to ensure that the grain is smooth, growth free and obtains maximum yield. This process is rarely seen in any other leather processing. A Unique skill of the Currier.
