El Capitan Light Brown is an oil-tanned cowhide from S.B. Foot Tanning Co. in the USA, sold as full sides or smaller project pieces. It has a smooth, satin-finish surface and a semi-stiff temper at 5–6 oz (2–2.4 mm), which holds shape well for boots, bags, wallets and journal covers. Compared with softer, floppier chrome-tanned hides, it is firmer and better for structured goods; compared with veg-tan, it is more pliable and takes a warm, even color. It suits leathercrafters who want a sturdy, US-tanned hide in a light tan to golden brown.

El Capitan Light Brown is oil-tanned cowhide leather from the Summit's Edge collection. The leather has a smooth texture, a satin finish and a semi-stiff temper. Its color runs from light tan to golden brown.
At 5–6 oz (2–2.4 mm), it suits boots, bags, wallets, journal covers and other handmade leather goods. It comes as a full cowhide side for larger projects or a smaller project piece. Project pieces are cut from the top (neck area), middle (center of the hide) or bottom (rump area). Top and bottom pieces often have more natural edges. Middle pieces are typically more rectangular.
This is a low-grade leather with noticeable blemishes such as bug bites, scars, scratches, cuts and other imperfections. Some sides have holes or a 12" x 12" sample piece cut from the spine. The hides are sold for their finished top side. The suede side may show tannery marks, score marks, writing or other natural imperfections, and its color may vary between dye lots. Each hide is natural, so color, grain, texture and shape vary from the one pictured.
