Description

Description

The Vegetable Tanned Split is a practical, affordable option for makers who need leather for testing, prototyping, or practice. At only £15 each, these splits allow you to try out new designs without using premium hides.

Cut from the flesh split of the shoulder, these leathers have no surface grain. They may feature irregular colouring, scars, or natural marks, but they offer a fairly smooth side and a rougher “fleshy” side, making them versatile for many workshop uses.

While perfect for practice and trial work, with a bit of creativity these splits can also be turned into functional products. Many makers find them useful not only for cutting and stitching practice, but also for backing, lining, or padding applications.

Ideal Applications:
• Practice cutting and stitching
• Prototyping and early product design
• Backing and padding
• Budget-friendly craft projects

Technical Details:
• Tannage: 100% Vegetable Tanned
• Cut: Shoulder Split
• Average Dimensions: 52″ x 35″ (130cm x 90cm)
• Average Size: 15 sq ft
• Thickness: Approx. 1–1.5mm
• Offer: Limited time only – £20 each

Vegetable Tanned Splits are an ideal choice for makers who want quality leather at an entry-level price. Whether you’re learning, testing designs, or seeking low-cost material for padding and backing, these hides provide excellent value without waste.
