Bark Tanned Wool Shearling

Why You’ll Love It:

Real bark tanned wool shearling with the wool still on. Dense pile, soft hand, and the natural insulation and padding you only get from the real thing. We stock it because it is what our pistol case builds call for, and because nothing synthetic feels like it once it is in your hands.

Key Specs:

• Type: Bark tanned wool shearling, wool on
• Grade: B side
• Sold: By the side

Things to Know Before You Buy:

• These are graded B for one reason: you cannot get a full saddle out of a single side. You will need two for a saddle job. The leather and wool themselves are good
• The price reflects that grade, so for anything smaller than a saddle you are getting a bargain
• One side is plenty for pistol cases, linings and smaller work

Best For:

• Maker’s pistol case builds
• Saddle work, if you order two sides
• Case and box linings that need padding
• Collar linings, cuffs and anywhere you want wool against skin

More About This Product:

Bark tanning is the slow way to do it, and it leaves the skin supple and the wool sound. For a pistol case or a lined box the wool does two jobs at once: it pads the contents and it wicks moisture away from steel. If you are building a saddle, order two and plan your layout across both.
