Members Mike Posted March 27, 2011 Members Report Posted March 27, 2011 I have some gray cow suede. It's chap weight. At one time I had planned a jacket but the material is just too heavy. It's rather dark gray. Any ideas as to what I can use this for? I have 4 hides totaling 41 sq. ft. It's too heavy to mail and there are no local leather workers to trade with. I figure it might be useful for projects but my mind draws a blank. I do not have much experience with suede. It's a bit darker than the photo. Mike Quote
