Review: Beautiful and blemish free. - I bought these hides to make a leather bound notebook using hand made paper. They are a beautiful maroon and are soft and supple. The leather pieces were both blemish free making them of higher quality than average. Perfect for what I wanted them for. Nothing smells quite like good quality leather. They proved to be easy to use with a thickness perfect for the intended use of binding a book. Overall a good value. Be sure to check out the size. It will not be big enough for a full size book but perfect for a smaller binding.
Review: Great leather , wonderful price, accurate sizing - I’ve now ordered three different colors of this leather, each on separate orders. All three were excellent hides. Smooth natural surface on one, out, side , rough surface on the other, in side. . Some have complained of the quantity not being 7-10 sf. All three hides I received were in the 7- 8.5 sf range. They ran around 34 inches long by 32 inches wide. All were one complete hide. I received no half hides or pieces. That’s the usable portion. Legs and neck are outside that rectangle and would actually increase the sf of the hide. If my ,long ago ,math skills are accurate 34” x 32 ” = 1088” divided by 144” = approx 7.5 square feet. A square foot being 12”x12” or 144 “. Smaller than most folks imagine I’m thinking. They run 1-2 mm thick. Thinner at the edges. Thicker towards the middle , they are natural sheep hides after all. The color was consistent across the hides and there were no tears or holes in the usable “rectangle” of the hides. These are way to thin for holsters, belts or knife sheath. You will need 7-8 ounce “tool leather” for those. They work great for projects that call for lighter leather. Very nice quality natural genuine leather hides. 31 May 2018. I’ve now bought two more hides. Same as my above reviews. For Andrew: 31x31 = 961 divide by 144 = 6.6736 sf. Darn close to 7 sf. The 5 hides I’ve bought have run a bit larger than that. Yes I’m only measuring the choice rectangular portion. Not the entire hide. A 96 x25 inch long hide would be more like a 1/3 split from cattle. A 96 x25 sheep hide is more likely 3 sheep hides seamed together. Not a single sheep. These hides are more likely than not from butcher age sheep and or goats. Not at the animals maximum attainable size. Plus imported. Perhaps a farm visit would help. Lol

A little smaller than I thought it would be. The hide is soft and silky. The color is beautiful. The mini skirt I planned on making won't come out of this piece. I'll have to rethink my plan. Maybe a small handbag.
