Definitions

  1. Hides or skins that have been preserved to be tanned later.

    • These fluctuations result from the interaction between the supply of hides and skins and the demand for the leather that is tanned from the rawstock.
    • A plump rawstock is necessary because thickness reduction from high-pressure embossing exceeds the plumping effects of vegetable tanning. Native steer or branded steer hides are appropriate rawstock.
