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. https://hidehouse.com/ Quote
Members Halitech Posted December 16, 2019 Members Report Posted December 16, 2019 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. Quote
