Leather Side Piece Veg Tan Split Medium Weight 30 X 48 Inches, 10 Square Feet

Ok so I blame myself for not doing the research. I gave a four star because it is what I paid for. As it is titled, it's split leather, NOT top grain. I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with this leather. And I need to buy what I was originally after. Again, totally my fault so I'm not going to bad mouth the seller, but do your research people. Don't be like me.

To start off, I ordered the wrong thing (pro tip: read item descriptions). I thought I ordered the regular tooling leather so I could start making holsters but I ordered this, not knowing what the split was. Even though I cant make a nice looking holster, I now have plenty of good material to practice with. I would recommend purchasing this for beginners to practice cutting, stitching, etc.

The leather was lighter than I desired, and has a few spots where pinpoints of daylight can be seen, but they were not in a critical area so I was not forced to return it.

I am surprised at how great a value this is. You don't realize how big a piece this is until you unroll this thing. With what I paid for I will usually only get two pair of moccasins. This piece will easily net 3 maybe 4. I'll get a couple of knife sheath out of it too. Consistent thickness, color, and surface. Easily one of my best finds this year. You've gained an eager customer.

Like many others I didn’t read this is a split leather. It’s large and after some 400grit sanding it’s pretty smooth and resolene sealed it up nicely. It has a great rustic look now.

If you are looking for tooling leather, look someplace else.Light weight- 3-4 oz maybe.Doesn't dye well.

Very nice piece of leather, no marks or blemishes.

I'm new to working with leather, so I don't have much to compare this too. But I'm very happy with it. I used it to make a couple bracers and am working on a sword baldric right now. Consistent thickness and I've been able to dye it easily with the dyes I bought. All in all, great product, great price.
