Hide Sizes & Patterns

What cut/pattern of leather is best suited for my project?

The total size of your product along with the total number of individual pieces you are making will determine the cut of leather you should use.

Typical pattern sizes listed in square feet(sq.ft)

Whole Hide: 45 - 65 sq.ft

Side: 20 - 30 sq.ft

Back: 18 - 28 sq.ft

Double Shoulders: 9 - 15 sq.ft

Double Bend: 20 - 25 sq.ft

Culatta: 16 - 20 sq.ft

Thickness:

The vast majority of leather is sold according to its area. The leather is placed through electronic measuring machines and its surface area is determined in square feet. The thickness is also important, and this is measured using a thickness gauge.

Most thickness measurements are listed in either ounces per square foot(oz) or thickness in millimeters(mm). The weight or thickness is usually given as a range because the inherent variability of the material makes ensuring a precise thickness very difficult.

Typical uses for different weight leathers.

1 - 3.5oz: Linings, Garments, Upholstery, Bookcovers.

3.5 - 7oz: Bags, Shoes, Boots, Cases, Chaps.

7 - 11oz: Belts, Strap Goods, Cuffs, Bag Straps, Leashes, Pet Products.

11-14oz: Harnesses, Saddle's, Rein's, Extra Heavy Belts & Straps

My Etsy Shop :

I have been coming up with this design for a long time and I am finally happy with the product that you guys now see. I made this product to be able to provide the needs for every nomad!

This Leather satchel is great for every traveler. Made for the Train Hopper in all of us.

I made the first Nomad Satchels in early 2011 after selling a handful and actually giving one off my back, I stopped making them to work on some new features that I thought would add so much more to this amazing product.
