"Last couple herman oak hides were questionable , with very hard spots in 1/3rd of the hide. Ordered theHerman Oaks Grade A side and it was not much better? Actively looking for other hides, from what few sources remain in the states. With regards, MB Thatp"
"So glad l exchanged for this."
"I broke down and bought an entire hide and have made several holsters with it. The 9/10 oz was probably a little heavy but they turned out nice. The leather molds and dyes well. Still have enough to make 10-12 holsters and will probably use 7-8 oz. from then on. Very pleased with the quality and the customer service at Weaver."
"Amazing piece of leather!!"
"First impression right out of the box was it had more defects than that of other A Grade HO leather I have purchased from other suppliers. After trimming off the parts that cannot be used for tooling, I ended up with 20 sq ft vs the 24 sq ft that I purchased. Even with careful trimming, there was not 4 square feet of waste so, the method of measuring square footage must be different between my measurements and Weavers. As for tooling, the leather carves and tools very well, just what I would expect from HO leather."
"Made some wallets and journals."
"Not super clean especially for the price of grade A, Ive had cleaner A/B Branded sides. I kept it because I do not feel like sending stuff back and forth but I will probably venture away from Hermann Oak in the future. The quality doesn't seem to be what it once was."
"The hide has light discoloring. More blemishes than I would expect from such an expensive leather. I have never bought this leather before so I was expecting better quality than the cheaper leather I usually buy. Unfortunately it was not. Little disappointed."
"first time buyer from Weaver and first time buyer of Hermon oak leather. Originally bought 8-9 oz and recently purchased 5-6 oz. Not totally satisfied with the quality of the 8-9 oz so far, lots of blemishes in the leather. Will receive the 5-6 oz tomorrow. I have been doing leatherwork fo over 10 years and have started with cheaper leather (tandy) to develop my skills and decided to step up to Herman Oak. Time will tell if I made the right choice. The service from Weaver has been excellent"
"A nice side pretty good surface, good flesh side. I cut it all into 2 1/2" pistol belt straps. Still it had it's share of marks on it for an "A" grade side."
