Soft/Milled Undyed Cow Shoulder Crust

Hide type: Cow Shoulder  Tannage: Vegetable Dyeing Process: Natural Color / No Dye Thickness: 3 oz or 5 oz Uses: Belts, Tooling, Straps, Tags, Molding These Crust Cow Shoulders are left completely undyed, "vachetta" leather presenting a natural flesh tone that will develop character over time. “Crust” leather refers to hides that have been tanned without added finishing; the vegetable tanning process - using organic agents and natural methods - results in a material that is especially sensitive to light, moisture, and oils.  Over time, the leather will darken with exposure and handling, gradually building a rich, distinctive patina. Each skin is milled for a soft hand, making it well suited for tooling, embossing, stamping, dyeing, and oiling. Ideal applications include handbags, soft belts and straps, small leather goods, footwear, and more. Skins are offered as double shoulders and a 12 square feet hide measures around 45-49 inches in width as shown below:
