Our take on the Cyte Utility Side Tan

Cyte Utility Side Tan is a chrome-tanned side of leather at 5 to 6 oz (2.0 to 2.4 mm) thick, averaging 21 to 25 sq. ft. per side. That weight is firm enough for belts, straps, holsters and bag panels but still workable for hand stitching and light machine sewing. A side this size gives one large continuous piece, so long straps and matched panels come from the same hide. Compared with veg-tan sides, chrome tan is softer and more water resistant but takes tooling and dye less readily.

Questions and answers

What can I make with 5 to 6 oz chrome-tanned leather?
Belts, straps, holsters, bag panels, wallets and cases. It is firm enough to hold shape but still folds and sews.
How is chrome tan different from veg tan?
Chrome tan is softer, more water resistant and quicker to produce. Veg tan is firmer and takes tooling, carving and dye far better.
How much leather is in one side?
About 21 to 25 sq. ft., which is enough for several belts or a large bag with panels cut from the same piece.
Can I tool or stamp this leather?
Not well. Chrome-tanned leather does not hold carved or stamped impressions the way veg tan does.
Is the thickness even across the side?
It is sold as 5 to 6 oz, so expect some variation between the backbone and the edges, as with any natural hide.
Where is the Cyte Utility Side Tan cheapest?
At Tandy Leather, Inc., for $99.99, as of our latest check.
