LEATHER

TOP GRADE TOOLING SIDES Our Top Grade Tooling Sides are what most companies would call their #1’s or premium...clean, white, and pretty doggone nice! These sides tool and finish very well. Order what you need, we’ll cut it for you! (18–28 sf. avg,) WEIGHT ORDER # 3-4 oz. 133-72134 4-5 oz. 133-72145 5-6 oz 133-72156 MEDIUM GRADE TOOLING SIDES Our economically priced Medium Grade Tooling Sides are our best selling tooling leather! It’s a relatively constant grade that’s somewhere between the top and the bottom of the pile. There may be a few holes or scars, but usually not many. Insect damage will be mini mal and will be pretty much out of the way of the best part of the hide. By and large, it’s just pretty good leather! Order what you need, we’ll cut it for you! (18–28 sf. avg.)

IMPORT TOOLING SINGLE BELT BENDS The single belt bend is the most premium cut of the hide! These are great for belts, sheaths, and holsters! Each bend yields approximatley twenty 1-1/2” belts. WIth a super smooth light colored finish these are excellent for tooling, stamping, or dying! (11–13 sf. avg.)

SOF-TAN TOOLING SIDES Very high-end leather. These are very nice, clean, large calf sides that have been veg tanned and then milled for that soft, pebble grained appearance and very drapey feel. Tools well, dyes well, and is one of the most versatile leathers that I've seen in a while. Perfect for all sorts of bags, soft accessories, clutches, wallets, etc. You'll love working with this!!! (*Note: 2–3 oz. has a less pronounced pebble grain.) WEIGHT ORDER # *2–3 oz. 133-72123 3–4 oz. 133-2251 5–6 oz. 518-2252
