A & A Crack & Sons leather review

[Hydrangeaceae]

I haven't seen many leather reviews, and the ones I've found are mostly of higher-end leathers from the US. As a beginner from Europe, I really missed having more information on the cheaper options, to make that first leather purchase a bit less nerve racking. So, I thought I'd do a review in case it helps anyone else.

Keep in mind I don't have much to compare it to. I have some scraps from @jonasbo that are very nice (huge thanks for that btw!), but there's a big difference on scraps and half a cow.

I chose the Deco pie crust since I wanted a thickness that would work for a variety of smaller items, something that could be dyed or left alone, and a whole side so I could get a better feel for the different parts of the hide.

And of course, I wanted something affordable. This cost me £3,65 pr sq ft without VAT, so all in all I ended up paying just under £130 (€147) for 19,75 sq ft + shipping. Which is definitely a great price.

Looks like you got a good hide.

@bikermutt07, yes I'm very happy with it. Of course there's a good reason buying cheap is hardly ever recommended, so I'm very happy it didn't turn into yet another lesson on why you shouldn't choose the budget route.
