Description
What is Indian tan latigo?
Indian tan latigo provides tougher material than traditional, combination tanned latigo leather, such as our premium latigo. This leather is alum tanned, meaning that it has characteristics closer to rawhide than it does to chrome tanned leathers.
What do people use it for?
Indian tan latigo has a lot of uses similar to those of regular latigo, such as saddle strings, straps, lace, etc. The difference, however is mainly in the look and the toughness desired.
What are the thickness and average sizes?
Our Indian tan latigo is usually 5-7 ounces thick, or around 3/32″. Sides average 23 square feet.

I use this leather for bull rope handles, I needed a side at least 8ft long for the majority of it. The side I received was 7ft long, after sending a message about it I was told to specify a long side at 23sq ft and they will do their best to try to accommodate my request. My bad for not including this information, my first side I ordered was 8 1/2 ft long, I thought this one would be too. I’ll know better next time. Far as the side of leather goes it is great quality, very even for what I have cut so far, I’ll bump that part up to five stars
Thanks, John

The Indian Tan Latigo side is exactly what I was looking for. It makes excellent lace.
