This is a full cowhide, vegetable-tanned and finished with semi-aniline dye, sold in hides of roughly 8 to 22 square feet at 0.7 to 1.2 mm thick. The semi-aniline finish evens out color while leaving the grain visible, so it looks more uniform than a pure aniline hide but keeps more natural texture than a pigmented one. That makes it a middle-ground leather: softer and more forgiving to cut than firm bridle leather, but less supple and less scratch-resistant than chrome-tanned garment hides. It suits crafters and small workshops making bags, belts, wallets, jackets and light upholstery who want vegetable-tanned character without the blotchiness of aniline.
