Rindsleder-Futter Einzelschulter

I was a little worried about stiffness, but the milling made it surprisingly soft and stretchy—cutting a wallet pattern was effortless. The drum dyeing kept the color even all the way through, no pale spots at the edges. Already ordered a second one for a book cover project.

The chrome tanning gives this hide a nice, even color all the way through, and the milling makes it really soft and pliable right out of the package. I’ve already got a book cover cut out, and it’s handling the needle beautifully without any cracking. Perfect for a sturdy but flexible project.

The drum-dyed finish gives this hide a deep, even color that really pops on the book cover I stitched up. It's got that slight stretch from the milling, which made tooling the edges way less fussy than with stiffer leather. Cutting into a second one for a wallet this week.
