Description
Veg tan leather sides from Sepici tannery in Turkey. From premium European cow hides, which tend to be larger and cleaner than cow leathers from other parts of the world. Great for stamping, carving, dyeing and more.
A full range of thicknesses are available to choose from so you get the exact leather necessary for your project. For those looking for veg tan leather alternatives to Hermann Oak or Wickett & Craig, and to save a buck or two, Sepici veg tan leather is an excellent option.
Priced by the square foot starting at $7.95 for retail, averaging 25 square feet total.

While I have not tried tooling this hide. It was fairly clean with no brands or marks on the grain side but there were a number of knife cuts from skinning that nearly go through the hide. Several of those cuts were in the area from where belts and straps would be cut. While those can be worked around for small projects it does limit the usefulness of this particular hide.
In retrospect I think that Herman Oak, though more expensive is probably a better value for my uses.
I have purchased Sepici double shoulder in the past to use as lining in the past. Generally, it has been clean but oddly trimmed a little difficult to accurately figure how many would be needed to line larger projects. A set of fancy 22″ tapaderos for example.
I was hoping the full sides would be a little better.
