What does 4 oz mean in thickness?

Leather weight is measured in ounces per square foot. At about 4 oz the hide is roughly 1.6 mm thick, firm enough for sheaths and pouches but still flexible.

The average hide is 7 to 10 square feet. Because it is a natural hide, the exact shape and size vary from piece to piece.

What is B grade leather?

B grade is a mid grade. You may find scars, brand marks, insect bites or uneven dye, which many crafters accept for rustic work.

Is this suede or full-grain leather?

It is buffalo suede, a split with a napped surface. It is softer and more textured than full-grain leather and has no smooth top finish.

What can I make from one hide?

A hide of this size is enough for several sheaths, pouches, moccasins or a small apron, depending on how you lay out your patterns.

How should I care for buffalo suede?

Keep it dry and brush the nap to clean it. Suede does not take wax or polish like smooth leather, and water can stiffen or stain it.

Our take on the Buffalo Suede 4 oz Leather Hides

A full buffalo suede hide from Leather Unlimited, averaging 7 to 10 square feet at about 4 oz thickness. It is a B-grade split, so expect some scars, brand marks and uneven dye, which suits rustic projects more than fine goods. The weight and size make it a practical choice for sheaths, pouches, aprons and moccasins. Compared with lighter garment suedes it holds shape better; compared with premium full-grain hides it is cheaper but less consistent.
