Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides vs Deadstock German Goat Suede

These are different leathers for different jobs, not close substitutes. Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides is thick, tough 4–6 oz. cowhide or water buffalo for bags, chaps, aprons, moccasins and straps; Deadstock German Goat Suede is a 1.5 oz. chrome-tanned, full-aniline suede for light jackets, skirts, trim and lining. Buyers rate the Odd Lot highly (4.6 from 94 ratings) and praise its colors and value, though some report large scars, uneven thickness and black that rubs off. The goat suede is soft and supple with some elasticity, but it is deadstock, limited to five colors, and sold final sale with no returns.

  • Choose the Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides if you need sturdy, thick leather for bags, chaps, aprons, straps or moccasins and can work around natural scars and batch variation.
  • Choose the Deadstock German Goat Suede if you are making lightweight apparel, trim or lining and want a soft, supple suede in a classic color.

Questions and answers

Which is better for making a bag or tote?
The Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides. At 4–6 oz. it has the body and strength a bag needs. The goat suede at 1.5 oz. is too thin for structural panels, though it works as a lining.
Which is better for a light jacket or skirt?
The Deadstock German Goat Suede. Its 0.5–0.6 mm weight and supple, slightly elastic hand suit garments. The oil tan is far too thick and stiff for apparel.
Which lasts longer?
The oil tan cowhide or water buffalo is much thicker and will outlast the thin goat suede in abrasion-heavy use. The suede is durable for its weight but is meant for light wear.
Is the goat suede worth stepping up to over the oil tan?
Only if you need a soft, thin suede for clothing or trim. It is a different material, not an upgrade. For bags, straps and heavy goods, the oil tan is the better choice.
Can I return either one if the color is wrong?
The goat suede is final sale with no returns or exchanges, so order samples first. The Odd Lot follows the store's standard return policy, but check it before ordering.
Will the oil tan leather match from piece to piece?
Not reliably. Colors, temper and thickness vary between batches, and two-side orders may include two of the same hide. Order enough from one batch for a single project.
