Well there were two leathers I fell in love with at Tandy. A burgundy latigo and this oil tanned leather. I actually prefered the latigo, but it was 12 oz which worried me, and it was $200. This leather just felt great in my hand, soft yet a little stiff. Moreover it was only $100. Next I am going to do a duffle bag. I think I am going to buy the same leather again.
