This is a whole vegetable-tanned cowhide in full grain brown, roughly 160 to 180 square feet of usable material. The smooth, minimally blemished surface takes tooling, carving, stamping and dyeing well, and the natural finish darkens into a patina with age. It suits leatherworkers who want one large piece to cut belts, bags, wallets, shoes or saddlery from. Against chrome-tanned sides it is firmer, more rigid and better for carving, but slower to break in and less forgiving of moisture.

This is a full grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide sold as a raw hide with a natural finish. The surface is smooth with minimal blemishes. The grain is natural and the feel is firm.
The leather can be tooled, carved, dyed and stamped. It develops a patina as it ages. It suits projects such as belts, bags, wallets, shoes, saddlery and armor.
Each hide is unique and may have minor natural markings. The edges are untrimmed, so expect organic edges. The leather is sourced from tanneries that follow ethical and sustainable practices.
