Odd Lot Lambskin Leather vs Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides

Buy the lambskin for soft, thin linings and garment work where drape matters. Buy the oil tan sides for chaps, bags, straps and anything that needs 4–6 oz. structure and abrasion resistance. The lambskin is chrome-free, undyed and biodegradable, but it is an odd lot: expect holes and thin spots. The oil tan sides rate 4.6 from 94 owners, who call the leather excellent and the colors better in person, though some report large scars and black that rubs off.

  • Choose the Odd Lot #2 Lambskin if you need soft, supple leather for linings, garments or light upholstery and can work around holes and flaws.
  • Choose the Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides if you need sturdy 4–6 oz. leather for chaps, bags, totes, straps or moccasins and want a side large enough to cut real patterns from.

Questions and answers

Which is better for lining a jacket or bag?
The lambskin. It is thin, soft and supple, which is what linings need. The oil tan is 4–6 oz. and too stiff for most linings.
Which lasts longer under hard use?
The oil tan sides. At 4–6 oz. with oil tanning, they resist abrasion and hold shape far better than thin lambskin.
Is the oil tan worth stepping up to over the lambskin?
Yes if you are making chaps, bags, totes or straps. Stay with the lambskin if you need soft, thin leather and can cut around flaws.
Can I make a bag from the lambskin?
Only a soft, unstructured one. It is too thin to hold a shape or carry weight on its own. Use the oil tan for structured bags.
How much leather do I get?
The lambskin is sold by the square foot, with a 4 sq ft minimum, and skins average 4–6 sq ft. The oil tan comes as a small 6–8 sq ft side, a medium 15–18 sq ft side, or two sides totaling 26–34 sq ft.
Will the flaws ruin my project?
Both are odd lots. The lambskin has holes and bad parts; the oil tan has scars and blemishes. Plan your cuts around them and order extra.
