Garment Side Special Black

I’ve been working with this leather for a blazer, and the chrome tanning makes it surprisingly easy to stitch through. The smooth feel with the subtle pebble grain is exactly what I wanted for a polished but not stiff garment.

I was pleasantly surprised by the pebble-grain look—it’s more subtle in person and gives the leather a nice texture for garment projects. The smooth feel made it easy to work with, and I’ve already cut out pieces for a custom vest.

The pebble grain texture is exactly what I wanted for a custom vest, and the chrome tanning left it soft enough to not need heavy break-in. It cut cleanly without fraying, which saved me so much time. Perfect weight for a structured blazer.
