Our take on the Surf Utility Side Blue

This is a side-grain utility leather hide in blue, chrome tanned at 3 to 5 oz. (1.2 to 2.0 mm) thickness, averaging 18 to 24 sq. ft. per hide. The weight suits bags, straps, cases and other structured goods that need firm body without being stiff. Chrome tanning gives it a tighter, more uniform temper than vegetable-tanned sides, so it holds shape well but takes tooling and dye less readily. The large hide size gives more usable cutting area than a typical shoulder or belly, which matters for makers laying out long panels.

  • Blue color suits accent panels and linings
Cons

Questions and answers

Is this leather good for bags?
Yes. At 3 to 5 oz. it has enough body for totes, satchels and pouches without a stiffener, and the large hide covers big panels.
Can I tool or carve it?
Chrome-tanned leather does not take tooling well. For carving, a vegetable-tanned side is the better choice.
What does side mean?
A side is a whole half-hide cut along the spine, so you get back, bend and belly areas in one piece. That means firmer and softer sections in the same hide.
How thick is 3 to 5 oz.?
About 1.2 to 2.0 mm. That is mid-weight: firm enough for straps and cases, thin enough to fold with skiving.
Can I dye it another color?
Chrome-tanned leather resists water-based dyes. Expect uneven results; it is best used as the finished blue it comes in.
Where is the Surf Utility Side Blue cheapest?
At Tandy Leather, Inc., for $99.99, as of our latest check.
