What is crazy horse leather?

It is full-grain cowhide treated with waxes and oils. Bending pulls the oils to the surface, so it lightens at creases and darkens again when rubbed, giving a worn look over time.

Is 2.0 mm thick enough for a belt?

Yes. At 5–6 oz it is in the usual range for a single-layer casual belt or a lined dress belt. Very heavy work belts often use thicker stock.

Can I tool and stamp this leather?

Yes. The maker lists tooling, stamping and carving among its uses. Casing the leather first gives cleaner impressions on a firm pull-up hide.

How should I cut and finish it?

Cut with a sharp knife or head knife and burnish the edges with gum or wax. The waxy surface takes dye unevenly, so test on a scrap first.

Is it really waterproof?

The maker describes it as having a certain water resistance from the wax and oil finish. Treat it as water-resistant, not waterproof, and recondition it after it gets soaked.

Our take on the 1.8-2.0mm Thick Genuine Cowhide Leather Crazy Horse Leather

This is a single 5" x 28" panel of genuine cowhide in the crazy horse finish, about 2.0 mm (5–6 oz) thick. Crazy horse leather is a pull-up leather: it scuffs and lightens where it bends, then darkens again when rubbed, so it develops a worn, vintage look. That makes it a good match for tooling, stamping, carving and small goods like belts, straps, cases and sheaths. It is a firm, dense hide, so it holds shape well but is harder to hand-sew than softer chrome-tanned leather.
