Abstract
Upholstery leather which was originally smooth is often blamed for str etching and becoming wavy after use. This phenomenon is known as baggi ness and is a feature for which upholstery tanners in particular would like to be able to test. The BLC in conjunction with Stable Micro Sys tems has developed a method which automatically measures the set or ba gginess of leathers. The method incorporates the use of a materials te ster in conjunction with a purpose built jig (see Fig. 1) and speciall y written software.
