Black Garment Calf Sides; Soft Calf Leather

Our 'Black Garment' is a nice, chrome-tanned calf leather, milled to soften it up, struck through with a true black dye.
Sides run about 16-17 sq ft on average, and have a thickness of 3.5 oz (1.4mm).  Sides will have at least one hole in them someplace.
Very soft - in the photo on the left that crumpled up thing next to the hides is one hide all scrunched up and tossed on the table.
Very fine texture on the surface.  Great for making vests, pants, or any other garment sort of thing you want to make but don't want anyone to know about.
It's cool.
Black Garment Calf Sides  $75 each, USA shipping included (AK, HI, Territories all in on this deal)

 

Same Leather in Navy Blue!

Same as above, only this leather is navy blue.

Jacket Leather, Dude.  Black Jacket Leather.  Sweet.
"Yo.  Dude.  Sup?  Where'd you get that jacket, bro?  Nice."
"Well, I didn't want to tell you or the rest of the guys in the biker gang but I've been taking sewing classes at night and I'll have you know that I made this jacket myself."
"No WAY!"
"YES way."
"So, dude, did you like, steal a cow and then skin it and tan it and all that?"
"Nah, man, it ain't like that.  I bought the leather online using my smart phone; found it on some website from a company up in Maine."
"Maine?  Dude, ain't that where Jocko-Boy slid on an icy patch and wrapped his ride around some sort of a big Paul Bunyan statue?"
"Yeah, man, I think so.  Anyway, I got this leather from up there and then I cut it and sewed it and added these rhinestone spots and a zipper and
I have to tell you, I'm wild about it.  Haven't taken it off since I finished it."
"OK, OK, so that explains the flies.  Nice work, man.  Make me one?"
"Well, why not?  Drop by my crib next week and we'll get your measurements, but for now let's go terrorize some old people."
"Word."
The preceeding re-enactment brought to you by the BV Theatrical Troupe and Tractor Repair Team.
This is great jacket leather, or make some chaps, or whatever you want to wear.  It's garment grade,  We have these sides available in a matte or glossy finish.
The sides run about 18-19 sq ft on average and are 3 oz in thickness (less than 1/16" or about 1.2mm).  Black as can be, and struck through.
Black Jacket Sides  $80 each, USA shipping included (AK, HI, Territories = yup)

Walnut Smooth Sides  $85 per side, USA shipping included.


BRASIL NUT BROWN OIL-TANNED COWHIDE SIDES
Very thin and soft

These oil-tanned cowhide sides are very soft and thin (2-2.25 oz, which is about the same as 1 millimeter) so this is great stuff
for making garments.  Also good as a lining leather or any other use that requires a natural, rustic looking leather that's thin and soft.
These sides (a 'side' is half of a full cowhide), run about 18-20 sq ft of surface area each.
Mid-brownish color is called Brasil Nut by the tannery.  OK, fine.  The surface of this leather is all natural - no grain corrections or smoothing
have been used in producing this leather, so it shows where the steer rubbed up against a tree or where a bee stung it or whatever.
Most of these sides also have a ranch brand on them.
Brasil Nut Sides, $80 each, 50-stateUSA shipping included, and the Territorieds are included in this too for this leather.

The British Tan, Butterscotch, and Espresso are just slightly metallic.
These cowhide sides run about 18 sq ft each, and have a thickness that's 2.75 to 3 oz, which is less than
1/16th of an inch, so most home sewing machines will go through these like green corn through the new school teacher.
These sides are priced at the flat rate of $80 each, 48-state USA shipping included.
Ak, HI, and the Territories too if you don't mind us folding your leather to fit in flat rate USPS boxes)

The leather thickness ranges from 1 to 3 oz (1/64" to a little under 1/16 of an inch).
Very, very soft.  How soft?  Like an old t-shirt that you can't throw away because
it still has that stain on it from that Kansas concert at the Hollywood Sportatorium.  It's special.
