This chap leather has a soft, broken-in feel that makes it a pleasure to work with. At 5–6 oz, it’s got just enough body to hold up, but still drapes and flexes easily for chaps, soft bags, fringe, or upholstery work. The bone color gives it a clean, neutral look, and the nubuck-style surface feels great in the hand.

More About This Product:
This leather’s got the kind of hand-feel that makes you stop and say “yep, that’s the one.” It sews up smooth, doesn’t fray, and lays down clean without a lot of fuss. If you’re working on gear that needs to bend, move, or wear comfortably, this side checks all the boxes.
It’s especially handy for chap making, soft panels in bags, or layering underneath heavier leathers. The color’s versatile and the finish holds up well with use. If you're needing something soft that still works hard—this is it.
