ميراج هارد روك سايد

I was a bit worried about the 1-2 week shipping time, but the leather was worth the wait. The 17-square-foot hide has a nice even thickness and a smooth surface that takes dye beautifully.

The 3 oz weight is perfect for tooling—holds detail without being too stiff to work. It really softened up after a quick casing, and the 17 sq. ft. side gave me enough for two projects. Took a bit to arrive, but the leather itself was worth the wait.

I needed a side large enough for a holster project and this one came in at 19 sq. ft., with a nice, even temper throughout. The chrome tan makes it super easy to work with right out of the package.
