This is half of a full-grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide side, 8-10 oz (about 3.2-4.0 mm) thick and roughly 19-26 sq ft per side. The firm temper holds shape and takes tooling, stamping and dye well, which makes it a workhorse for handbags, belts, holsters and footwear. It is new surplus from manufacturing, so each side varies in size and natural marks. Compared with softer chrome-tanned or garment leathers, it is stiffer and less forgiving to cut, but far better for structured work. Buyers rate it highly for quality and finish.

This is a side of full-grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide, which is half of a whole hide. The leather is new, unused surplus from the manufacturing industry. It is firm and suited to tooling, handbags, footwear and other leathercraft.
Each side is 8-10 oz thick (3.2-4.0 mm, 1/8"-5/32") and covers about 19-26 sq ft. Size and natural marks vary from hide to hide. Because leather is a natural material, it may have scarring and other natural imperfections.
