This A3-sized leather sheet is cut from full-grain, black vegetable tanned cowhide. It has been professionally tanned, skived, and hand cut to a consistent working thickness of approximately 1.2mm (±0.07mm). Measuring 297mm x 420mm (11.7 x 16.5 inches), it provides twice the surface area of an A4 sheet, making it ideal for medium-sized leathercraft projects such as wallets, organisers, pouches, or tool rolls.

Tanned in Japan from humanely sourced hides, this leather is produced using traditional vegetable tanning methods under strict environmental controls. The black finish is achieved during tanning and enriched with a professional oil treatment. This leather is not suitable for further dyeing, stamping, or lacquering due to the oiled surface, but both the edges and the flesh side can be burnished to a smooth, polished finish.

This listing is for the A3 size only. The following options are also available and sold separately:

• A4 size (210mm x 297mm / 8.2 x 11.7 inches), similar to US Letter
• A3 size (297mm x 420mm / 11.7 x 16.5 inches), double the size of A4
• A2 size (420mm x 594mm / 16.5 x 23.4 inches), four times the size of A4
• 400g pack of black vegetable tanned leather trimmings

Each sheet is skived to uniform thickness and machine cut at right angles for maximum material efficiency and minimal trimming. The consistent surface and moderate firmness allow for precise stitching, clean folding, and durable edge finishing.

Recommended project quantities based on A4 equivalency (source: A4 Leather Projects book, Studio Tac):

• Card pockets: up to 16 pockets
• Watch straps, keychains: several items
• Card cases, phone or pencil cases: 2 to 3 pieces
• Wallets or pouches: 4 to 6 pieces
• Biker wallets, clutch bags, organisers: 6 to 8 pieces
• Satchels or patchwork panels: 8 pieces or more

Please note: As a natural product, each sheet may include slight colour variation, minor blemishes, natural grain markings, or edge deviations of a few millimetres. These are considered standard for full-grain leather.
