Vegetable tanned leather measuring 13-15 oz or 5.2 - 6mm thick. These argentinian hides average around 21 square feet, thus, not as big as their american counterparts. Anyways, the lower price and equal tanning quality provide a higher value per dollar.
The 1st or first quality side is carefully chosen firstly at the raw material stage and later its re-classified once the product is ready to ship. In this way we ensure ourselves of the quality of the product and that only the best sides are available for our customers.
The 2nd or second quality side gets the best bang for your buck and is great for customers who use smaller cuts.
The flesh side is buffed
The memory of our leather for tooling purposes has been something that customers have really valued over these years.
The pit tanning used has been developed at the tannery over 20 years ago and has since been praised in the saddle making industry for achieving the quality of north american tanneries.
These hides are chosen from the south of Argentina where the weather is colder and the animals achieve this thickness throughout their lives.
