potter Report post Posted October 24, 2014 If you are trying to stamp or tool you need to buy a tooling leather that will accept an impression. Jackets are made of garment leather and are tanned specifically clothing furniture etc. they are not meant to hold an impression or carving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glendon Report post Posted October 27, 2014 The short answer is, no. You do need veg tan if you want to stamp or carve. Chrome tan, which is what most garment leather is, does not accept impressions at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
