Working With Red Pig Suede Leather
At 0.4 – 0.8 mm this is a light, tight leather. It cuts cleanly with a rotary knife or clicker die, folds without bulk at the seam, and skives easily where you want a turned edge. That makes it a steady choice for linings, bag panels and garment pieces where you want colour and softness without adding weight.
For pieces that need to hold their own shape, back it with interfacing or pair it with a heavier outer leather. Hides vary in size, so allow for nesting when you lay out a cutting plan.

Please Note:
As with all genuine leather, it’s completely normal for hides to have small holes or irregular edges, especially near the perimeter. These are part of the natural shape and not considered defects.
