Timd Report post Posted November 14, 2008 I recieved a flyer from Wickett & Craig with some great prices on both, and was wondering what the difference was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Skirting leather is heavy- 12/14 oz. It is veggie tanned, and can be carved. Carving leather is veggie tanned also, and comes in a variety of weights. Thicknesses. We leatherworkers don't seem to like simple terminology, do we? Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckBurrows Report post Posted November 14, 2008 W & C also make light skirting in the 8/10 oz range which complicates things even more. According to W & C the difference is in how they are finished i.e the amount of oil/type of oil added during the currying process. Skirting in this case is a bit oilier than the Tooling/Holster which is a bit drier and therfore generally not quite as supple........... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
