These are full-grain, natural vegetable-tanned double shoulders from high-alpine European cowhides. The hides are graded Utility because of neck wrinkles and the usual natural marks, but the double-shoulder cut leaves out the bellies, so the usable cutting area is high. The leather is naked and undyed, so it takes dye, tooling, stamping and wet molding well, and it develops a strong patina with age. It suits leatherworkers making bags, belts, wallets and molded pieces who want a firm, workable veg tan and can plan around natural defects.

This is full grain, natural vegetable tanned leather made from high alpine European cowhides. Cattle raised at higher altitudes tend to have fewer defects because there are fewer bugs. The hides are tanned by a European partner from top grades 1 and 2. They can have some neck wrinkles, so the leather is called Utility grade.
The hides are double shoulders with no bellies, and the expected yield is 75%+. As a natural product, areas can have neck and back wrinkles, veins, scars, bites or loose grain. For large cuts such as totes or duffles, a full hide is recommended where possible.
The leather is naked and ready to accept dye. It is full aniline, with no extra surface finishing to hide flaws. The color is a warm natural tone that is not too pink, and it develops a patina as it ages. The flesh side is soft, and the leather is easy to cut and skive. It suits dyeing, tooling, stamping, wet molding and more.
