Julius Report post Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I am planning on making my first few wallets etc. I was wondering what's the best type of leather to go about doing this? I know I should aim for 3 / 4 oz leather. Where I'm stumped is veg tanned tooling/carving leather or veg tanned skirting leather? I am planning on ordering from W&C. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Edited February 18, 2011 by Julius Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks I make my wallets with 3-4 oz tooling outer shells, 1-2 oz lining pig, calf, or goat for the interior. Skirting leather is for saddles and mostly comes in weights above 12oz. I'm unfamiliar with W&C, so it could be it's a different tannage if they're offering it in lesser weights, but it's probably the same thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
