Key Features

• Size flexibility: The hides arrive as 7 to 10 square feet, which can be one large piece or two smaller hides that suit pattern layouts for medium projects.
• Material: Whole pig suede leather offers a soft, nap-finished surface that is comfortable for garments and pleasant to work with for small accessories.
• Durability: Despite the soft touch, the suede is sturdy enough for regular craft use and holds up to cutting, stitching and light wear.
• Antique finish: The tan antique finish gives a slightly aged look that works well for vintage-styled pieces and masks small imperfections.
• Natural variation: Larger hides may be thicker and show age marks or holes, while smaller skins tend to be softer and cleaner, which lets buyers choose by need.
• Craft suitability: The hide is tailored for arts and leathercraft use, making it a practical choice for soft leather garments and accessories.

Who It's For

This suede hide is aimed at hobbyists, leatherworkers and small-scale designers who need soft, workable leather for items such as jackets, linings, bags, belts and small upholstery accents. The tan antique color and suede finish suit projects that benefit from a worn-in aesthetic and tactile softness.

Those who need perfectly uniform thickness, exact flat dimensions or large continuous hides for industrial cutting should look elsewhere; expect natural variability in size, thickness and occasional holes as part of the material's character.
