This is heavyweight full-grain cowhide, vegetable tanned and cut from the double shoulder, at roughly 3.6–4.0 mm (9/10 oz). That is about twice the weight of the 4–6 oz leather most beginners buy, so it holds shape and takes hard wear. It carves, stamps and dyes well when dampened, and the pasted flesh side looks clean where the back shows. It suits belt makers, sheath and holster crafters and anyone building structured goods; for wallets, linings or soft bags it is too stiff, and those buyers should look at 3–5 oz instead.

These are heavyweight vegetable-tanned sheets of full-grain cowhide, cut from a double shoulder. The leather is 9/10 oz, approximately 3.6–4.0 mm thick, which is heavier than the 4–6 oz leather commonly sold for general leathercraft. It has a natural finish and a smooth pasted flesh side, which gives a cleaner look where the back is visible.
The leather tools well when dampened. It takes carving, basket stamping, letter and logo stamping, and embossing. It also accepts dyes, stains, oils, conditioners and antique finishes, so the result can range from a natural look to a deeply colored piece.
The thickness helps the leather hold its shape. It suits belts and belt blanks, heavy-duty straps, knife sheaths, holsters, tool holders and other structured goods. Each panel is pre-cut. The listed size is the minimum usable rectangular area, so a panel may be slightly oversized or have an irregular natural outer edge.
