Ostrich Skin is Categorized Based on Grade and Size.
Size: measurement of full ostrich skin leather in square feet.
Grade: Condition of Crown Area Categorized into;
Grade A has no defect or is minor on the edge of the crown area. The entire crown area is usable.
Grade B has 1 to 3 defects. Mostly, three-fourths of the whole crown area is usable.
Grade C has over three defects, and at least half of the crown area is usable.
*The value of the ostrich leather is calculated based on the size of the entire skin in square feet, crown area (the area has quill), condition (grade), and type of finish applied to the leather.
*If there are any defects or holes around the crown area, it doesn’t affect the value of the skin. The only condition of the crown area and the size of the entire skin determines the value of luxury leathers.
*Smaller skin comes from smaller birds, thinner skin, and smaller quills.
*Crown area on each skin depends on the size of the entire skin. It’s different from skin to skin and doesn’t have standard measurements.
*Different protein density on each ostrich skin sometimes creates a slightly assorted color tone on the finishing processing, and that’s out of control, and standard.
*The back of each skin is sanded and cleaned to approximately 1.2mm thickness.
