really stiff leather

Recommended Posts

what kind of leather would be really stiff (even if it gets wet) but ideally not that thick/heavy and would be nice if it was water proof and pre oiled.

If what you mean is "firm", then you might try the Hide House in Napa. They carry what they call California Latigo, and it is very firm, pretty much water proof, and oil tanned. Comes in a variety of colors (although mostly deep, rich colors) and weights.

It might help if you explain what you are planning on doing with it. If  you are going to be forming it, anything pre-oiled and water resistant can't be formed. Only veg tan can be wet formed.
