Abstract:

For this purpose, skirts were manufactured from chromium, semi-vegetable and vegetable tanned leathers obtained from two tanneries. Skirt patterns were prepared by using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems. Leather skirts were evaluated by specialists by using subjective rating scale and the obtained data were analyzed by fuzzy logic method. As conclusion of this study; when visual effects of these skirts were evaluated, it was observed that skirts produced from chromium tanned leathers had better results than the skirts produced from the leathers tanned with other types of tanning materials.
