Description
Solo is a soft cow leather with an unusually smooth, fine surface for a cowhide – lightly pigmented rather than heavily coated, so the color is even but the leather still feels like leather. At 2 oz. (0.6-0.8 mm) it behaves more like a garment skin than a structural hide: it drapes, it skives thin and it sews on a domestic machine. Hides run 16-18 square feet in Black, Dark Earth, Seal Brown, Rustic Brown and Insignia Blue.
Why Choose Solo Soft Cow Leather
- Smooth, fine-grained surface with very little of the coarse texture cowhide usually carries
- Light pigment finish: even color, forgiving to cut, and far less marking than an aniline
- Light 2 oz. substance that folds, skives and stitches easily
- Large 16-18 sq. ft. hides – cow-sized panels at a garment weight, which lambskin cannot give you
- Deep, earthy shades that work together across a collection
Best Uses for Soft Cow Leather
- Handbags, totes, clutches and unstructured accessories
- Jackets, vests and apparel panels
- Shoe uppers, linings and footwear trim
- Belts, straps and small goods
- Bag linings and interior panels where a big clean skin saves piecing

Ordering
Solo soft cow leather is sold by the hide, and each one falls within the size range you choose. Shade varies a little between hides, so order all of one color together when a project has to match. At 2 oz. this is a garment and lining weight – for structured bags or belts that must hold their shape, step up to a heavier hide. For other weights and finishes browse all Cowhide, the rest of our Garment Leather, or our Smooth Leathers. For swatches, current stock or volume pricing, email Info@Avetcoinc.com or call 818-890-6680.
