Exactly as described

The leather goods arrived in good condition, exactly as described and pictured. The skin is very tough, almost cardboard, like a bag. However, I was able to work with one by hand by rubbing and flexing it a few times. Now it looks like normal suede.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Dear

Overpriced, low quality

Practice leftovers. The quality is not good enough to use in the finished product. If you are just starting out and need something inexpensive to practice with then this product is for you. After gaining some experience, I now know that this product is an inferior, overpriced option. You can get a belly skin for $20 which is way better.

Pros
  • Crafts and sewing
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Perfect for practice and more

I started out buying this vegetable tanned grit from Dangerous Threads as practice material for my masks before crafting the final design out of more expensive tooling leather.

Splits are lightweight, flexible, form well and take fabric glue well. This is *not* tool leather so it doesn't stamp well, but…

Pros
  • Manufacturing
Cons
  • Some small things

More square feet than stated

These are various trimmings made from the bottom half of a split hide so the thickness varies from piece to piece and both sides are rough. I received 11 pieces, each the size of a sheet of printing paper or larger. Some of them had skirt pieces, but most are all thick enough to be shaped and worked on a bit. I am very happy with it and will order again. I'll update the review once I get around to dying the piece to say how it holds up the color or quality in a second order. ***UPDATE*** A…

Pros
  • Leather Strips, Moldings and Trimmings
Cons
  • Discontinued Model
