2nd Quality Control
Inspection and grading of leather of colour finishing.
The leather is inspected for cleanliness of the flesh & grain to determine its final colour and finish.

The leather is fluffed on the flesh to aid the next process, which is the colouring of the flesh & grain. Fluffing ensures that the leather absorbs colour more intensely.

The grain of the leather is hand stained. This again is a unique process where by hand staining the colour on the grain will be level and give a smoother aniline finish.

After staining, the leather is allowed to dry naturally before top finish colours and resins are applied. The experience of Sedgwick’s colour matching personnel ensures that the leather is correctly coloured every time.

The final processing of the leather is the application of grease. A secret blend of fats, oils and waxes enables the leather to be “fed”. This application also gives Sedgwick’s leather the unique mirror finish, which is second to none.

3rd and final Quality Control
Inspection of the leather is always important. This enables the inspector to grade the leather for quality and feedback to the production team on possible improvements to the leather – where possible.
