crazytailorlady Report post Posted September 2, 2022 Hey guys, I thought someone might help me ID this peculiar leather. This leather is light beige to gray in color and it only darkens slightly when oil or grease is applied. It sometimes has a green shade. Does not blacken with vinegaroon. I find it lots on harnesses, it is used for thick straps, it is very bendy and even 20 year old pieces barely cracked. Shown piece is from a girth.

If you were in Romania I'd say your harness "leather" sample was actually a slice of a rubber v belt from a combine. Since you're in Serbia, I don't know what your harnesses look like. (Must be different?) Is it a locally tanned leather? Does Serbia produce any veg tanned leather? What's in your photo could either be a thick chrome tanned leather or something veg tanned struck through with dye. I feel inclined to think it's a chrome tan of some sort.
