New Sierra Deertan Sides

New Sierra Deertan Sides

Our new Sierra Deertan Cowhide Sides have the soft, supple feel of fine garment deerskin as well as the toughness and durability of cowhide. Plus, it’s water-resistant, adding a dimension of wearability to garments made from this leather.

These sides come in 4 rich colors and have an average weight/thickness of 3 to 3.5 oz. (1.2 to 1.4mm) and an average size of 23 to 24 sq. ft. (2.14 to 2.22 sq. meters).

The ladies of Project Free2Fly tried out our Sierra Sides in Saddle and Brandy on a few of their best-selling bags.

"The Sierra Hides are soft but thick and heavier than expected. I felt like it was easy to sew and definitely worked well using it on our Abbey tote." - Jessica

"I enjoyed using the Sierra on a more difficult style, our Hailey Kate. It was smooth as butter!! I also felt like it has more of a give/stretch to it and you need to account for that when cutting all your pieces out."- Mason

The Sierra Cowhide Sides are perfect for bags and any small leather goods. Their durability and water resistance make them the perfect choice for any project!

What will you make with the Sierra Deertan Cowhide Sides?
