The Leathers listed below are light-weight cowhide sides, chrome tanned leather from branded US cattle. 
These sides are spray finished with full grain surfaces.  A couple of them have imprinted grain textures, as described below. 
These come from one of the USA's most prestigious tanneries and are production over runs. 
Each side is about 2.5 to 3 oz in thickness (less than 1/16") and averages 18 to 20 square feet. 
These are about 6 to 7 feet long and about 3 feet wide at the butt end, narrower toward the neck, 
just like a lot of Americans these days. 
You'll get 18 to 20 square feet of leather, expect to find a brand or scratch on them.

Putty Full Finish Calf Hides

 These calf hides are about the same color as your filing cabinet, desk, and the bookshelf they gave you when you took your new job
and were sure it was the perfect career.  The furniture smelled new in your cubicle, and you were optimistic for the first time in years.
By lunch that first day you knew you'd made a horrific error, but the car payment and apartment rent
forced you to keep dragging your carcass back to that miserable office for years.
Ready to relive that pain?  Here you go.  Calf hides the same color as all that office furniture.
These are full finish hides, very smooth and slightly glossy, firm temper.
Size is about 8 to 10 sq ft per hide, thickness is 2/2.5 oz (1/32 of an inch)

The leather is 3 oz (a little under 1/16 of an inch)., Very, very soft.

Thin White Tail Deer Hides

but they look a little off-white to very light grayish in color.
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.
We're selling this leather by the pound - see the bottom right photo?
It shows one pound of pieces on our layout table (one-foot squares)

Black Horse Front Quarter Hides

Horse leather is pretty nice stuff, once you get past the mental picture of Old Dan taking his last trot into the tannery.
Horse hides are popular because the fibers that make up the leather are tightly packed together,
which makes it very durable and gives it a feel that's different from typical cowhide.
The horses like it that way, it seems.  Full horse hides get cut into sides, and then the rear portions get tanned for making
belts and thicker stuff (the butt cheeks get made into shell cordovan).  The front quarters get made into garment leather,
which is what you've got right here.  Horse fronts, ranging in size from 10 to 15 square feet, so we've broken them into two size categories for you.
This leather is struck through (dye goes all the way through) and is 2.5 oz in thickness (just a bit over 1/32 of an inch)
and can be run through most home sewing machines like green corn through the new school teacher.

Larger Black Horse Fronts (13 to 15 square feet of surface area) $40 each  USA shipping included Add to Cart
Black Sheep Hides


These are full sheep hides, chrome tanned, all black, second quality.
These measure about 5 to 8 square feet in surface area per hide and are very soft.
The leather is 3 oz (a little under 1/16 of an inch).  These are suitable for garments and many kinds of craft projects.
What's the catch?  Simple - this is a mixed lot of hides, hard to find any two that are exactly alike.
There's a variety of surface grains and finishes, but all are black, most are smooth.  Some have a hole or two.
We've priced them accordingly.  Buy them one at a time ($15 each) or in groups of ten hides for $125.
These prices, as always around this Center for Higher Education, include USA shipping.
