Le terme «mégisserie» désignait autrefois uniquement la préparation par tannage à l'alun de peaux très souples, réalisées à partir de peaux de moutons, d'agneaux et de chevreaux, ces peausseries étant le plus souvent destinées à la ganterie. Pour cela, les peaux, après travail de rivière (épilage et confitage), sont foulées dans une composition constituée par une solution d'alun de potassium et de sel dans laquelle on délaie de la farine et du jaune d'œuf : c'est l'habillage de mégisserie [...] 3, record 1, French, - tannage%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3Balun
