Suede and Leather Reprocessing Acceptance Form

Since suedes and leathers are skins of animals, they are subject to inherent characteristics and various hazards of manufacture and consumer use generally described as:

1. FADING due to a natural oxidation of dyes from light exposure.

2. SCAR TISSUES from wounds, insect bites, or diseases will result in cuts, calluses, and lines concealed in tanning, will show after cleaning.

3. WRINKLES AND THIN SKINS are inherent damages. Think skins are skins that are cut too close to the surface. Wrinkles are from the belly and neck of the animal, which are over-stretched during tanning. These become prominent after cleaning.

4. MISMATCHED PANELS result when skins of various origins are used. Pigskins are more prone to this condition during tanning.

5. SHRINKAGE most often results when skins are allowed to dry in an over-stretched condition during tanning.

6. DYE TRANSFER / COLOR BLEEDING in multi-colored or combination trimmed garments, or garments with light colored linings will occur if dyes lack the color fastness to withstand immersion during the cleaning process.

7. SHADING is the result of oil concentration due to a variation of density and texture in a natural skin.

8. BAD SPOTS AND STAINS such as INK, BLOOD, EGG, MILK, and VOMIT are usually difficult to remove by the normal spotting and cleaning procedure. There is always the possibility of color removal or skin injury.

9. GLUE BLEED due to glue in the seams being soluble in the cleaning process and dissolving or redepositing on the garment leaving dark stains that cannot be removed.

10. PREVIOUS REPAIR WORK unable to withstand the normal immersion cleaning.

11. ORNAMENTATION, TRIMS, FINISHES, METALLIC DYES, and / or SURFACE DESIGNS may be lost or damaged during cleaning.

I have read and understood the above statements and give you permission to process my garment and will not hold you responsible if the noted conditions occur and cannot be remedied.
