vegetable tanned
Leathers that have been tanned exclusively with
vegetable tanning agents, or with vegetable
tannins plus small amounts of other agents, the
latter being used solely to assist in the tanning
process or to improve or modify the leather, but
which are not present in sufficient quantities to
noticeably alter the essential vegetable-tanned
characteristics of the leather. Cf: CHROME RETAN . See
also: VEGETABLE
TANNING .
