Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides are value-priced leather sides in oil tan style, sold as a side or partial side in cowhide or water buffalo at roughly 4–6 oz. thickness. Each piece varies: most have smooth grain, some pebble grain, and pull-up, temper and distressed look change from batch to batch. They suit crafters making chaps, saddle strings, bags, totes, backpacks, satchels, aprons, journals, moccasins and linings who can work around natural marks. Against full-priced, graded leathers, the trade-off is consistency: buyers report beautiful color and solid quality, but also large scars, uneven thickness and occasional mismatched hides in multi-side orders.

Buyers rate the leather highly for color and quality, calling the tones even better in person and the sides in great condition. Complaints center on large scars, uneven thickness and multi-side orders that arrive as duplicates instead of assorted hides.

Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides are oil-tanned leather sold as a whole side or a partial side. The leather is cowhide or Water Buffalo, and it comes in assorted earth tones or black. Thickness is approximately 4–6 oz., and pieces may occasionally run slightly heavier.
No two batches are exactly alike. Most pieces have a smooth grain, and pebble grain is occasionally included. Some pieces are oilier or firmer than others. Some have a strong pull-up, and others have a subtler pull-up or a distressed look. Natural range marks, brands and other imperfections may be present.
The leather suits projects such as chaps, saddle strings, bags, totes, backpacks, satchels, aprons, journals, moccasins and linings. The two-side option is two sides that together total approximately 26–34 sq. ft. Individual side sizes vary, such as a 12 and a 14 sq. ft. side or a 20 and a 13.
