Trash!! looks like someone rolled it up backwards a few dozen times. Yea I had a similar problem. You know what, i didn't call them out until I called them back and was given a sorry, ship it back on your dime, and we will re-sell it to some other shmuck conversation. Those middleman suppliers need to learn to send the crap back to the tanners when they receive it, not pass it on. However, so many folks now just don't know what 'good' leather is supposed to look like that they take the easy way out.

 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Did you buy this from a reseller or direct from the tannery?

Is this supposed to be normal vegtan tooling leather - not milled, dyed, jacked, rolled or otherwise treated? Does it look way different in color or feel than the other sides? It just appears a little glossy in the picture. The three evenly spaced vertical crease lines looks like it was almost folded or flattened. 

How long did you have it before you found this side was subpar?

What do you use to measure thickness and where on the side?
