Additional Details
Slightly heavier at 7-8 oz. than most chrome tanned leathers, this side has just the right balance of body and flexibility. It has the makings of a dependable apron that will be a staple at family cookouts or a motorcycle bag that will endure miles and miles on the open road. Embossed with a pebble grain finish, this leather adds texture while lending a touch of casual style to a myriad of projects.
Difference
The time involved and expense of veg tanned leathers led to the development of chrome tanning in the mid-1800s. Chrome tanning takes about a day in contrast to the one to three-month veg tanning process, making it a more economical choice. Today, about 80-90% of the world’s leather supply is chrome tanned and it is heralded for its stain and water resistance as well as its consistency in color.
