A full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather hide from European steers and heifers, sold by the square foot in several thicknesses from about 4/5 oz up to 13/15 oz. It is dyed through with an aniline finish and has a tight, small grain, so it takes tooling, stamping and dye well. The hide has no fire brands but can carry natural defects, so expect to work around some marks. It suits leatherworkers making bags, wallets, belts, sheaths and holsters who want thick, firm veg-tan rather than soft garment leather.
