Antler Chap Leather

Why You’ll Love It:

This chap leather has a soft, broken-in feel that makes it a pleasure to work with. It has just enough body to hold up, but it still drapes and flexes for chaps, soft bags, fringe and upholstery work. It is the kind of hand feel that makes you stop and say yep, that is the one.

More About This Product:

It sews up smooth, does not fray, and lays down clean without a lot of fuss. If you are working on gear that needs to bend, move or wear comfortably, this side checks the boxes. It is especially handy for chap making, soft panels in bags, or layering underneath heavier leathers. The finish holds up well with use and only looks better once the piece has been worn a while.
