What we liked

  • + 3-4 oz, 1.2 to 1.6mm thickness is a firm, structured weight for card holders and wallet shells
  • + Natural undyed surface is described as taking dye evenly, holding stamp impressions and burnishing well
  • + Each piece is inspected for holes and thin spots, so the full 2 square feet is described as usable

Trade-offs

  • - 2 square feet covers only a few wallets, far less than a full hide for batch work
  • - At 3-4 oz it is on the thick side for stacked interior card pockets, which usually call for thinner leather
