SKIRTING
Our skirting leathers are 100% vegetable tanned using an artisanal process that takes nearly four weeks. After the tanning process is complete, the leather is drum dyed. The tanning process produces firm leather that is good for tooling, carving, stamping, embossing, oiling, and dyeing.This full grain leather will produce high quality finished goods with strength.
STRAP
Our strap leather is 100% vegetable tanned in the same four-week process as our skirting leather but leveled for a more uniform thickness. After the tanning process is complete, the leather is drum dyed for uniform coloring. OurĀ tanning process produces strap leather that takes tooling well and also oils and dyes uniformly.
HOLSTER STRAP
ChahinLeather™ holster strap is 100% vegetable tanned in the same four-week process as our tooling strap leather but specially formulated with extra tannins so that it takes wet molding extremely well. It is perfect for use in making holsters and sheaths. This leather is also good for tooling, carving, stamping, embossing, and dyeing like our regular strap leather.
