Our take on the Denver Side

Denver Side is a chrome-tanned cowhide side, 3 to 4 oz. (1.2 to 1.6 mm) thick, averaging 18 to 24 sq. ft. It has a waxy, distressed finish with a slight pull-up effect, so it scratches and creases into a vintage patina with use. That softness and light weight suit shoes, bags, wallets, linings and small upholstery, where stiffer veg-tan sides would be too firm. Each hide is different: brands, range marks and noticeable color variation from hide to hide are normal, so it rewards buyers who pick in person or accept natural character.

Questions and answers

What can I make with a 3 to 4 oz. side?
It suits shoes, handbags, linings, wallets, home decor and small upholstery. At 1.2 to 1.6 mm it is soft enough to fold and sew on a home machine with the right needle.
Will the color match what I see?
Not exactly. Color varies significantly from hide to hide, and hides may have brands and range marks. Ordering extra for a matching set is wise.
Does it scratch easily?
Yes, and that is the point. The waxy finish scratches and creases naturally, building a vintage-looking patina rather than staying pristine.
Can I tool or carve it?
Not well. It is chrome tanned, which does not take tooling like veg tan. Use it for cut-and-sew work instead of carved designs.
How is it different from veg-tan sides?
Chrome tan is softer, more water resistant and better for draping goods. Veg tan is firmer, takes tooling and burnishes, but is stiffer for bags and linings.
How large is one side?
A side averages 18 to 24 sq. ft. (1.67 to 2.23 sq. meters), enough for several small projects or one large bag.
Where is the Denver Side cheapest?
At Tandy Leather, Inc., for $169.99, as of our latest check.
