Product Description & How we calculate the Leather Surface?
We use automatic surface calculating machine
We use a highly precise measuring machine to measure the leather surface as it does not have a standard shape. You can watch our video among the product images to learn how the cut pieces are prepared and how the surface areas are calculated. Don't forget, only tanneries like us has the highly precise machine to calculate leather surface, not merchants.
However, to put it simply, the above image will help you understand the size of the leather. As cowhide is very large and costly, we divide it into smaller pieces to offer them to our valued customers.
Here is some explanation about the leather surface area:
- 12" x 12": Exact 1 Square Feet.
- 12" x 24": Exact 2 Square Feet.
- 2.5-4 Sqft: This option has approximately 3.25 Sqft average leather surface. This does not mean 2.5 Feet by 4 Feet.
- 4-6 Sqft: This option has approximately 5 Sqft average leather surface. This does not mean 4 Feet by 6 Feet.
- 6-8 Sqft: This option has approximately 7 Sqft average leather surface. This does not mean 6 Feet by 8 Feet.
- 8-10 Sqft: This option has approximately 9 Sqft average leather surface. This does not mean 8 Feet by 10 Feet.
- 10-12 Sqft: This option has approximately 11 Sqft average leather surface. This means not 10 Feet by 12 Feet.
- 20-22 Sqft: This option has approximately 21 Sqft average leather surface. This means not 20 Feet by 22 Feet. If you want to buy half of the cowhide, you can select this. We will send one side of the cowhide.
Pro Tip: Also, you can calculate the surface area by measuring your leather (average) width and (average) length by inch meter. You can use this formula: Width x Length / 144 = Leather Surface area. For example, you have the leather dimensions of 24" x 36" (average). This means that you have 6 Square Feet of leather.

Vegetable Tanned Leather Patina
Turns to Caramel color overtime
As leather ages, it develops a rich and captivating patina, a unique blend of colors and textures that tell a story of enduring beauty. With each use and exposure to the elements, leather gains character and charm creating a one-of-a-kind piece. The allure of patina lies in its ability to capture the essence of time reminding us that like leather we too grow more fascinating and beautiful with age

Vegetal leather means leather tanned with natural tannins such as tree bark. It is the oldest tanning method known to man. This tanning method which has existed for centuries constitutes less than 10% of the tanning presently carried out worldwide.

You can apply water repellent for the Natural color or you can dye whatever color you like and then you can apply water repellent for the final touch.
Full Grain Leather, instead of Genuine Leather!
- Full Grain leather is the highest quality, made from the top layer of the hide, preserving the natural grain and imperfections, resulting in a durable and luxurious material that ages beautifully over time. On the other hand, Genuine Leather refers to lower-grade leather that has been processed and altered.
- It may be made by splitting the top layer and applying artificial finishes. Genuine Leather is less durable and lacks the natural characteristics and longevity of Full Grain leather. When choosing leather products, opting for Full Grain leather ensures superior quality and long-lasting elegance.
- When choosing leather, it is important to consider its quality and purpose. Full Grain leather is ideal for those seeking the highest quality, long-lasting leather goods that will develop character over time. Genuine Leather, while genuine, may not possess the same level of durability and natural beauty.

Sepici's 100 Years of Wisdom on Traditional Vegetable-Tanned Leather
Vegetable-Tanned & Sustainable!
Full Grain Vegetable-Tanned Leather is a premium type of leather that undergoes a specific tanning process using natural materials such as tree bark and plant extracts. This process is called vegetable tanning and is known for its traditional methods. Full Grain refers to the topmost layer of the hide, retaining the natural grain and imperfections, which adds to its durability and unique appearance. Vegetable tanning enhances the leather's natural characteristics, making it soft, supple, and capable of developing a rich patina over time. This type of leather is highly sought after for its high quality, natural beauty, and sustainable production methods.

Even thickness, tight grain on the smooth side, and clean on the inside. Can't get a better piece of leather to make a good looking piece of leather craft.

This was my first time making holsters so I kind of experimented with my design, but the leather was of fairly high quality.I poured boiling water over the leather pieces before and then sandwiched the *** between the leather pieces and then put it in my kydex foam press and let it sit for 24 hours, then sandwiched the sandwich between a towel and then left it clamped in the press for another day.Then I put a nice edge on it and died it black. After that, I worked the leather by hand until it formed to the *** well. Once it dried, I put a hair drier to it and rubbed bees wax on it until it was saturated.I also made a few slings and a couple passport holders/travel wallets with snakeskin inlays.I don't do a whole lot and the 8-10sqft lasted me quite a while. I was about to place an order and realized I hadn't reviewed it yet.

The leather is beautifully cut and looks flawless. Perfect for making a wallet or checkbook cover. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong weight. That's my fault, not the supplier's. The leather I received looks so good, I'll keep it and use it for the checkbook cover I planned to make later. The knife sheath will have to wait.

I make custom leather patch hats and live pretty close to one of the largest leather distributors in the nation. With leather prices skyrocketing, I figured I would give this a try. I received a very usable piece of 2oz leather with virtually no flaws. It stains well. I will order again and hope that I receive another quality piece next time.

I know a lot of people are bagging on this product because of the size. But I mean, come on people 25 bucks for 3-4 feet of usuable material. It's a steal. I got mine on time with the shipping, great quality, no holes, no blemishes. Looks, feels, and smells great! When you buy something like this, especially on amazon you are trying to save some money and a peice like this would cost quite a bit more at any main line leather store. Ill get at least 7 or 8 good size wallets out of this. Depending on your projects, something like this could be great for you and I mean if you have a big project you should probably be shopping at a major leather store anyway

Had high hopes for this leather. The quality was OK, but the delivery came wrapped in plastic (not in a tube), folded, and bent/creased. Have not been able to get the folds or creases out yet, which makes cutting or having straight edges difficult at best.
