Why You’ll Love It: Big colour on a big side. These are chrome tanned sides in six saturated colours, light enough to move and drape but with enough side to them to carry a bag panel. If you are building show chaps, a statement bag or anything that needs to be seen from across the room, this is the leather for it. Key Specs: Type: Chrome tanned full side Thickness: 3.5 to 4.5 oz Average Size: 25 to 30 square feet, one of the largest sides we stock Colours: Turquoise, Emerald, Ocean Blue, Deep Purple, Crimson and Orange Ideal Uses: Chaps, bags, upholstery, inlays and accent panels Things to Know Before You Buy: Most sides carry a brand. These come from ranch hides and the brand mark is part of the deal. Plan your cuts around it, or use it Expect some variation in tone across the side and between hides At 25 to 30 square feet these are large. One side covers a full chap build Best For: Show chaps and chinks that need colour Bag builds where the leather is the whole design Inlays and accent pieces against natural veg tan Upholstery and panel work More About This Product: Colour this saturated is hard to find on a side this big. At 3.5 to 4.5 oz it cuts clean, glues without bleeding and sews without fighting you. Keep your pattern simple and let the colour do the work. On a chap or a bag it reads from a long way off, which is usually the point.
