    Various defects can occur on leather surfaces, including holes caused during hair removal, insect bites that cause wobbling, and itching that leads to an uneven surface. Manual flesh removal can also result in flay cuts that reduce the cutting value and quality of the leather. Hump marks near the neck area produce poor quality leather, while pox marks from animal infections leave spots that degrade the quality.

    DEFECTS

    Various defects can be seen on the surface of leather.


    Holes can be seen on the surface of the leather which
    happens while pulling of the hair or wool from the surface
    of the leather.
    The hair is removed manually from the skin or the hide.
    During the process of the removal of hair from the hide or
    the skin, few hairs are pulled with greater force which
    results in holes at times.
    These holes degrade the quality of the leather.
    Wobble:
    This is another type of defect that is found on animals
    mainly cows. This defect is mostly because of insect bites.
    Generally in the life time of cattle, cow or a buffalo they
    go near marshy and swampy areas and in jungles so a few
    parasites like leeches stick to their bodies. So, when the
    cattle is dead these insects still remain in their bodies
    these have to be removed at times which lead to hole in
    the skin of the animals. This type of defect is called
    wobble.
    This reduces the quality of the leather or else we can say
    that it degrades the leather.
    Itching defects:
    At times animals develop certain kinds of allergies due to
    various reasons such as living in a bad area or because of
    insects. Now due to this they develop irritation and start
    to scratch themselves.
    This leads to the defect on the skin leading to uneven
    surface or rough surface. This further leads to the
    degradation of the quality of leather.

    Flay cuts:
    This type of defect arises when the flesh is being removed
    from the animal. This process is done manually. So at times
    while removing the flesh the skin or the hide is even pulled
    off.
    This defect reduces the cutting value of the leather to a
    great extent. This degrading the quality of the leather.
    Hump marks:
    In most of the cattle there is a hump in the neck area.
    The leather near this hump is of poor quality and thereby is
    not usable. Their by reducing the cutting value.
    Pox marks:
    Small spots like marks can be seen on the surface of the
    leather.
    These marks are the pox marks which happen to the
    animals during their life time although most of these don't
    leave a mark behind but in certain cases they do. These
    marks reduce the quality of the leather.
