Description
This earth tone leather comes from our 3 oz Milano collection: soft, full-grain European cowhide in timeless blacks, whites, grays and warm browns. Because every hide is chrome-tanned to a soft temper, it is easy to cut, fold and stitch. That is why it works just as well for a single custom piece as it does for a production run of straps, luggage or fashion goods.
Why Choose This Earth Tone Leather
- Full-grain surface that is durable and ages beautifully
- Soft, supple hand that is easy to cut, fold, and stitch
- Consistent, dependable quality for production runs
Earth Tone Leather Best Uses
At 3 oz, Milano is light enough for soft goods, yet it still has enough body for structured accessories. For example, makers use this earth tone leather for:
- Straps
- Luggage
- Fashion goods
- Pet accessories
- Handbags and wallets
Colors in the Collection
Shades run from classic Black and Charcoal Gray through Castlerock, Taupe, Java Brown and Rustic Brown to lighter Caramel Cafe, Vintage Khaki, Starfish, Antique White and White. See the color selector above for every shade currently in stock. Because leather is dyed in lots, the tone can also vary slightly from one batch to the next; therefore, we recommend ordering enough hides for a whole project at once.

Like the rest of the Milano line, this earth tone leather is chrome-tanned, the tannage most often chosen for soft, flexible leather. As a result, it stays supple after cutting and shaping, and it also takes a clean stitch line.
