A process for the production of fat-liquored, tanned leather or pelt is provided. The process comprises the steps of fat-liquoring and tanning, wherein an animal hide, skin or pelt is fat-liquored with a substituted acylaminopolyorganosiloxane (A) in the presence of a surfactant or surfactant mixture (B), which is an anionic or nonionic surfactant or mixture of anionic or/and non-ionic surfactants, before, during or/and after tanning, wherein the substituted acylaminopolyorganosiloxane (A) is a polyorganosiloxane containing substituted acylamino groups linked to silicon atoms of the polysiloxane skeleton via alkylene bridges or mono- or oligo-[alkylene-amino or alkylene-(substituted acyl)amino]-alkylene bridges. Also provided are tanned pelt or leather, certain substituted acylaminopolyorganosiloxanes (A') and related processes and compositions.
