What we liked

  • + Oil tanned leather resists water and stays flexible in use
  • + Whole side gives plenty of area for bags and larger sewn projects
  • + Russet color hides scuffs and ages with a worn-in look

Trade-offs

  • - Chrome tanned leather will not tool, carve or mold like veg tan
  • - Title gives no weight or size, so plan projects after delivery
