This is a single chrome-tanned leather side sold as a bag-making material, averaging 15 to 22 square feet at 2 to 5 oz thickness. The temper is soft to medium, so it cuts and stitches easily while still holding shape on bag panels and linings. The catch is that the side is picked for you, so color and exact thickness vary from order to order. It suits crafters who work in volume and can adapt to whatever arrives, not anyone matching a specific color or weight.

This is chrome-tanned bag and chap leather sold by the side. It has a soft to medium temper, so it is easy to cut, stitch and handle. It is flexible, yet it has enough body to hold its shape on bags that still need movement.
Some sides are smooth and some are pebble grain. Each side is chosen for you, so color and thickness vary from side to side.
It suits bag builds such as canteen purses, sling bags and small backpacks. It also works for linings, accent panels and other lightweight leather projects. It cuts clean, glues well and sews without stretching.
