This is white/cream alum-tanned leather from UK farm stock, tanned in England with traditional alum salts. The surface is buffed and fluffed, which gives grip and takes water-based dyes well. Thickness runs from about 1.8mm to 3.0mm, so it suits straps, belts, pouches and satchels rather than fine goods. It is not pristine: some pieces show shadowing that can be whitened or dyed over. Compared with vegetable-tanned leather it is softer and paler, and it is aimed at re-enactors and makers of period gear.

Heritage UK White Alum is alum-tanned white/cream bandsman leather, a type typically used for re-enactment, including Napoleonic and English/American Civil War kits. It is part of the Heritage Leather collection and is a guest leather from the Old Claytons Tannery in Chesterfield.
The leather comes from UK farm stock and is tanned in England using traditional processes. Alum salts give it its characteristic white/cream color. The surface is buffed and fluffed. The pieces are not pristine, and some shadowing may appear in a few places. This can be whitened or colored away.
The leather can be colored with a dilute solution of water-based dyes and stains. Its fluffed surface gives a good grip, so it is also used for gymnast and rehabilitation equipment. Other uses include straps, frogged belts, cartridge pouches, satchels, work belts, weightlifting belts, back supports, luggage straps, furniture, placemats and coasters.
