From leather for crafts to leather for liners, holsters, and more, these bellies are a great choice. This leather tools, embosses, dyes and oils beautifully. When you touch these leather bellies, you’ll experience the soft, supple nature of this budget-friendly cut. Check out this video by Chuck Dorsett for more insight into why veg tan bellies are a great choice for crafters.
Veg tanned the old-fashioned way using a tightly-controlled process that utilizes tree bark and other natural tannins, this leather won’t corrode metal, making it perfect for creating holsters and knife sheaths. On average, veg tanned hides undergo a one to three-month process that results in exceptional beauty and workability.

"Couldn't be happier unless it came with a $100 bill rolled up with it. What a great value for a quality piece of leather."
"Great leather for the sheath I made"
"The bellies showed up with gashes /weat marks on the middle. Not my first or second time ordering this so I reached out to customer service with picture and asked if this was normal. No response for days. Then I tried contacting them by text and got a response saying somone would reach out soon. That was 48 hrs ago. Now I received a request for a review."
"Loved the Quality of the Leather my friend and i got some both loved it!"
"As a beginner on a low budget this really helps thanks for this opportunity im not an expert but I'm happy with the product and service you guys offer"
"Marred, gnarly misshapen, stained, looked like the cat drug in. Forced to return."
"Very good quality leather for projects in leather. I’m a beginner at leather construction but am anxious to work with the material"
"Not a bad option for those looking to work on smaller projects. You get a decent amount of leather for a belly strap. Only issue I had is there were more areas of "unusable" parts due to imperfections then what I am used to. Again, for that price, its not the end of the world in my option."
"Good piece of inexpensive leather for a beginner. No issues with the piece."
"Worked great. It was the right weigh/thickness and was good quality."
