Our take on the The Leather Guy Low Grade Oil Tan Sides Thin 2-4 oz 23 Sq Ft Light Brown

The Leather Guy Low Grade Oil Tan Sides is a 23 sq ft side of chrome-tanned cowhide in light brown, sold as a low-grade, thin 2-4 oz cut. The oil tan finish gives it a pull-up look with a semi-stiff temper and smooth texture, and the low grade means scars, brands and color variation are expected. It suits crafters who want a large, inexpensive piece for bags, wallets, straps and practice work rather than show-grade leather.

Best for
Bag and tote makers needing a large, cheap side
Beginners practicing cutting and stitching
Small leather goods like wallets and pouches
Makers who want pull-up character and patina

Questions and answers

Is this leather good for beginners?
Yes. The low price and large 23 sq ft area make it a low-risk way to practice cutting, punching and stitching. Expect flaws, so plan around them rather than expecting clean panels.
Can I tool or carve this leather?
No. It is chrome tanned, and chrome-tanned leather does not hold tooling or carving like vegetable-tanned leather. Use it for cut-and-sew projects instead.
What thickness should I expect?
It is sold as 2-4 oz, roughly 0.8 to 1.6 mm, but the thickness varies across a low-grade side. Measure before cutting pieces that need a consistent weight.
What can I make with 23 sq ft?
A full side this size covers several bags, a run of wallets and pouches, or straps and small goods. It is more than enough for a first large project.
Why is it called low grade?
Low grade refers to visible scars, brands, holes and color variation across the hide. The leather is still usable; you cut around the flaws.
Is it worth the price?
For practice and rustic-style goods, yes, because you get a large area cheaply. If you need clean, uniform panels for a finished product, buy a higher grade.
