This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.174.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Iran has an advanced leather industry for women's clothing, however, it needs technology development for export.<ref>((Cite web |date=2020-11-15 |title=صنعت چرم کشور در انتظار توسعه فناوری |url=https://www.irna.ir/news/84109804/صنعت-چرم-کشور-در-انتظار-توسعه-فناوری |access-date=2022-08-25 |website=ایرنا |language=fa))</ref>]]
[[Iran]]’s modern '''leather industry''' (((lang-fa|صنعت چرم ایران))) began at the start of the twentieth century. Despite the industry's long history and the livestock hide's genetic proficiency, Iranian products have not achieved a significant place in international leather markets.

== History ==

=== Early history ===
During the reign of [[Ahmad Shah Qajar]], the last [[Qajar dynasty|Qajar]] king, evidence has shown attempts to import leather processing machinery from the West, proving Iran's quest to build leather factories extended beyond the early 1900s.<ref>[http://www.nlai.ir/ Sazman-e Asnad-e Melli-e Iran]</ref> After the bombardment and closure of the First Parliament, [[Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar]] ordered the establishment of a new assembly within Iran. The members of this newfound assembly discussed an agreement to build up a modern leather factory.<ref>Ettehadieh, Mansoreh. ''Majlis va Entekhabat'', Nashr-e Tarikh-e Iran, 1375, Tehran, page 118.</ref> Prior to this agreement, Iran only enacted traditional tanneries (dabbaghi) for leather production.<ref>for more information see dabbaghi in http://www.iranicaonline.org/</ref>

=== Foreign Involvement ===
During the first [[Pahlavi Iran|Pahlavi]] era, [[Germany|German]] companies  started to invest in the Iranian leather industry. As a result, the ''Khosravi'' leather factory was built in [[Tabriz]] in 1931/32 (1310 Iranian calendar) with 533 workers,<ref>Sazman-e Asnad-e Melli-e Iran http://www.nlai.ir//</ref> the largest and most modern of the time. After the [[Second World War]], during the second Pahlavi era, this industry started to develop with factories mainly in the south of [[Tehran]] ([[Shahr-e Rey|Shahr-e-Rey]]) and [[Tabriz]]. These were chiefly private companies who were able to import Western machinery, mostly from Germany and Italy. The use of Western chemical products in the process of leather making also increased the quality of Iranian leather.

=== After the 1979 Islamic Revolution ===
[[File:Iranian woman wearing boots - Iranian fashion boots - Fashion in Iran 22.jpg|thumb|Iranian 2020 black leather boots]]

During the 1970s, the leather industry was one of the most lucrative businesses in Iran. Before the revolution, Iranians were able to build some of the machinery, such as gear boxes for the wooden drums used for washing the leather. After the 1979 [[Islamic revolution]], [[sanctions against Iran]] affected the leather industry. As a result of these sanctions, some Iranian chemical companies began to produce chemical products for the industry and the manufacturers of leather processing  machinery developed as well. [[File:Fleshing Machines built in Tabriz for Leather Industry,1980s.jpg|thumb|Fleshing Machines built in Tabriz,1980s]]

Since the 2000s, the production of women's leather boots in various designs has been able to give a new life to Iran's leather industry. Iranian [[thigh-high boots]] with [[black leather]] can be found all over the Middle East.<ref>((Cite book |title=چکمه‌های بلند زنانه، ناجی صنعت چرم ایران |publisher=Tehran |year=2018 |edition=2nd |location=Iran |pages=17 |language=Persian))</ref>
 

==Advancing Technology==
Afterwards, more complicated machinery, such as fleshing machines, were first built in Tabriz. The use of these machines continued until the production of more advanced mechanical and electrical machines. The leather industry in Tabriz started to use one of the most advanced machines built in Iran. Used for [[splitting (leather processing)|splitting]]<ref>for a picture see https://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://bp0.blogger.com/_q2wMOe9uBaE/RfQGYFvWFqI/AAAAAAAAA5c/VL5e8RGf-AE/s400/DSCN2944.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.firstpullover.com/2007/03/leather-tanning.html&usg=__Z2ct_e_FVJC1a4i_q8QMiHGUbWc=&h=300&w=400&sz=53&hl=en&start=297&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=xYI9ThQKRdaoEM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dleather%2Bsplitting%2Bmachine%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D280%26um%3D1</ref><ref>a machine that has knife edge which can accurately split the skin in crosssection.

The leather industry flourished after the revolution and was taking advantage of government subsidies until its support was restricted. This was due to the inferior quality of Iranian leather which caused difficulty in producers finding markets outside Iran to export along with the import of Chinese products. This forced some factories to close by the end of the twentieth century and many workers also lost their jobs <ref>http://www.irna.ir/View/FullSgtory/?NewsId=732569&IdZone=46 ((Dead link|date=February 2022))</ref> A report revealed that "1500 workers have lost their jobs following the continuing shutdown of leather producing factories in the city of Mashhad. Presently, Iranian leather export primarily focuses on trade of raw hides and skins at low sale price. The Iranian government encourages the industry to process high added value products of leather goods, leather shoes and leather clothing so as to increase the industry's profits".<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.china-leather.com/eng/show.php?itemid=4839 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2012-07-13 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130119055253/http://www.china-leather.com/eng/show.php?itemid=4839 |archive-date=2013-01-19 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

==Impact==
Most of the leather companies belong to the private sector, yet most these factories just work with 40% of their capacity despite the high investments in leather industry in the country. Despite the industry's long history and skin hide proficiency, Iranian products have not achieved a significant place in the international markets.<ref>nassajiemrouz.com</ref>
