Croc Embossed Cowhide

Recommended Posts

Any recomendations on who carries the most realistic looking croc embossed cowhide? rather heavier than lighter, 3.5 to 4.5 oz min. This will be used for cycle seats.

Hey Rick!

Tandy sells a pretty realistic "Croco-Cow" leather. I use it for bike seats, gun holsters, and all kinds of other projects. It comes in about 30 different colors and really is sharp. It's kinda pricey, not real bad, but worth it IMO.... I'm just about to embark on a new project for a Yamaha "Millennium Edition" Venture.

Here's a few pics of the stuff...

Depending on the size, I have found some good size pieces on eBay that are not as pricey as Tandy.

good luck!
