Atlas Cow Shoulder is a smooth, Tuscan vegetable-tanned semi-aniline cow leather. It is perfect for footwear, handbags, belts and other accessories, and lends itself beautifully to tooling, carving, stamping, and a variety of leathercraft techniques. Made in Tuscany with only natural tannings and dyes according to a centuries-old Italian artisan tradition, this warm, brilliant cowhide ages beautifully, acquiring a rich, unique patina over time.
This quality comes as a "double shoulder/full hide" but can be ordered in a "single shoulder/half hide" as well - approximate measurements are shown below.
