Premium Genuine Leather Natural Grain Cowhide Hides - Leather Skins for Upholstery, Crafting, Tooling, Sewing, and DIY Leather Projects (Black, 10 Square Feet (Half Side))

The Tannery NYC's natural grain cowhide is a black 10 square foot half side with a soft drape and a protective finish, a larger and pricier cut than a small lambskin, aimed at handbags, garments and upholstery.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 10 square foot half side gives room to cut full bag panels and straps from one piece
  • + Full grain cowhide with a smooth, consistent finish and soft drape, described as handbag and garment leather
  • + Protective finish resists everyday wear while keeping the leather soft and workable

Trade-offs

  • - Listing gives no thickness or tannage, so confirm the weight suits your project before cutting patterns
  • - Brand marks and occasional small holes may occur, and a half side costs more than small craft hides
