Leather properties were assessed. Abu-Dleek leathers were higher quality than Barki leathers when tanned with different tanning materials. With respect to influence of tanning method, mineral tanned leathers were higher quality than vegetable tanned leathers. Within vegetable tanned leathers, leathers tanned with quebracho extract were higher than leathers tanned with mimosa extract.
