Description
Cow Leather 3 oz. Skipper – Full-Grain Drum-Dyed Cowhide
Skipper is a full-grain, drum-dyed cowhide finished with a soft matte surface. At 3 oz. (1.0–1.2 mm) it is light enough to fold, turn, and stitch without skiving, yet it keeps the fiber strength and grain character of a full-grain hide. The drum-dyed color runs through the leather rather than sitting on top of it, so cut edges, folds, and stress points stay the same tone as the face. Supplied as half hides in Black and French Roast.
Why Choose Cow Leather 3 oz Skipper
- Full-grain surface that is durable and ages beautifully
- Soft matte finish for an elegant, non-glossy appearance
- Drum-dyed through for rich, consistent color
- Soft, supple hand that is easy to cut, fold, and stitch
