Our Glovetan Black sides are buttery soft and flexible, with little to no finish for a natural, rustic feel. As part of a limited stock lot, these hides may show more visible range marks and natural blemishes. Due to the minimal finish, they will be more prone to staining but allows it to develop character over time, showing off scuffs, scratches, and markings that give it a well-traveled look. Ideal for moccasins, garments, lightweight bags, and other soft accessories, it's beginner-friendly and easy to work with while offering a beautiful balance of comfort and durability.
Leather Grades — General Guide
- Standard: Cleaner working area with fewer cosmetic marks; best for larger, visible cuts. Natural blemishes may still occur.
- Utility: Expect more natural range marks (scars, brands, scratches). Great for smaller projects or areas where appearance is less critical.
Note: Grades are subject to availability. All sides are of the same quality tannage, and vary in selection.
