BLACK WAXY COWHIDE MAKES FABULOUS BAGS & BELTS From Barkers Hide & Leather Skins
This is a top quality light to medium weight cowhide with loads of character. It has a lovely waxy gloss finish. This is a 'pull-up' type leather which means that it will show scuffs and light scratches but these are easily buffed away. The colour fades a little when stretched but gradually returns. It has a slightly creased and crinkly surface and occasional marks and scars. Makes stunning bags and belts. Our favorite hide!

Every effort has been made to give a clear indication of the nature of each particular skin but please be aware that, being a natural product, all leather skins will have some marks, irregularities and occasionally, small holes - no skin is perfect.
If you have specific requirements please ask - we may be able to select accordingly.
Sizing: In the UK, leather hides and skins are usually sold by surface area and measured in square feet. Every part of the surface of the skin is measured and the size marked on the reverse by the tannery.
For ready cut pieces size is indicated by dimensions.
Note: Four square feet does not equal 4 feet x 4 feet!
Colour: On- screen representation of colour is not necessarily accurate - colours shown on your screen may not be a true indication of the actual shade. If in doubt - get a cutting.
Returns: It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the skin is right for the job before cutting. Skins cut by the buyer cannot be returned. See below for our returns policy.
Ethical policy: We only sell skins from animals that have been reared as a food source.
