SPLITTING

While this leather does not fall under our free splitting category, splitting is still available upon request. You can reach out to our customer support team for custom splitting pricing if nothing is listed in the listing.

Please note that splitting is a delicate process, and while we strive for precision, there is an inherent risk involved. As such, this service is performed at your own risk, and we are unable to offer refunds or replacements for any issues that may arise during the splitting process.

Splitting Details:

Tolerance:

  • Panels: +/- 0.1mm
  • Full & Half Hides: +/- 0.15mm
  • No Splitting (From Tannery): +/- 0.2mm
    Leather thickness is subject to these tolerances due to natural variations in density across the hide.

Splitting Process:

  • Our splitter accommodates widths up to 30 inches. Hides larger than this will be trimmed, with the belly section removed to retain the best part of the hide. Trimmed pieces will be returned with your order.
  • Split flesh layers are not included in the final shipment.

Precision Measurement:

  • Thickness is measured using a gauge with moderate pressure, ensuring consistency across the hide. Variations within the noted tolerances are expected and considered standard.

We value your trust in our craftsmanship and strive to meet your expectations. If you’d like to proceed with custom splitting or have specific questions, feel free to reach out to us.

We occasionally get items that have been overstocked and offer discounts to move them. All sales of Deal Zone items are final. 

This listing is for 50% Off (Approx $9.99 sqft). This goatskin is used for high end luxury handbags, clutches and small leather goods like wallets and watch straps. The hides come in whole hides.

We will not be offering splitting on these hides.

With a natural product like leather, there can be areas with neck and back wrinkles, veins, scars, bites, loose grain, but in general this article can expect an overall high cutting area. Sides do include bellies where there can be some loose grain. This leather being semi aniline (meaning the leather is very mostly natural with some slight finishing) the leather will have most areas of concern covered improving yield. Darker colors will also better hide any areas of concern. A key skill of using full aniline leather is the ability to work less desirable areas of the hide into the less visible areas of your projects. Overall this article has a high cutting yield.
