Royal Leather Finisher

Jajmau is always busy and we are right in the thick of it at No. 67/64 Gajju Purwa. Royal Leather Finisher is basically just a group of us working with raw hides and making them look right before they go out. It gets pretty hot in the workshop, especially in the afternoons when the machines have been running for hours. We spend most of our time checking the texture of the skins and making sure the color is even across the whole batch. It is dusty work, honestly. You can smell the leather from the street before you even walk in the door. Sometimes the shipments are late and we have to wait around, but usually, there is a big pile of work waiting for us every morning. We have been here for a while now and the neighbors know us well. It’s not fancy or anything. Just some work benches, chemicals for the finishing, and a lot of heavy lifting. Some of the guys have been doing this since they were teenagers and they can tell a good hide just by touching it once. We don't really have a big office or anything, just a small desk in the corner where we keep the logs and the phone. People drop by to ask about their orders and we show them what is currently being dried on the racks. It is just steady, honest work and we keep at it day after day without much fuss or bother.
