It's top of the line leather and we're offering it at a fraction of it's true value.The total square footage of a hide is obtained by a scan of the leather at the tannery. It refers to the total area of leather in a hide. For instance, a hide that measures 24” X 36”( a typical lambskin) = 864”÷ 144”(12” X 12”) = 6 sq.ft. A 6 sq.ft. hide does NOT mean the hide is 6 ft. long. Again, it is the total AREA of a hide. Click here TO SEE OUR OTHER GREAT DEALS on leathers that will coordinate with this one.
