ABOUT THE LEATHER: This Light White Leather Hide Side offers 19 plus square foot, providing ample surface area for larger leather craft projects. Weighing 2 to 3 oz (approximately 0.8 to 1.2 mm), this chrome-tanned and pigmented hide features a soft temper and a smooth grain with a sophisticated slight sheen finish. The color is a refined light white, specifically balanced to be one shade warmer than pure white, as demonstrated by the comparison to a sheet of white paper. The surface has a clean, uniform appearance with a gentle luster that catches the light without being overly reflective. This hide provides excellent drape and minimal stretch, making it ideal for projects requiring a soft and supple hand.

Note: You will receive the hide shown in the photo. If you are attempting to match an existing color, hide, project or even a leather from another retailer, we recommend not purchasing this hide.

LEATHER BASICS 101 and what you should know. (Newbies to the leather and crafting).

• Square Footage: is based on usable space across the hide. For example, a hide with 10 square feet of usable space does not mean it consists of ten perfect square pieces you can cut. Leather hides have natural shapes and edges, so the actual cutting area may vary depending on your project’s pattern layout.

• Full Grain: Outer most layer of the skin. Can have scars, blemishes, bug bits, barbwire scratches and visible branding. 

• Top Grain (Also known as Corrected Grain Leather: Light removal of the top skin removing blemishes, scars, bug bits and will have low visibility of cattle branding. Still contains the outer most fibers for durability.  

• Vegetable Tanned: Organic materials used to dye the hide.

• Chrome Tanned: Most popular tanning process using Chromium dyes with a wider variety of colors. Longer lasting color when exposed to direct sunlight, for example Automotive seats.
