44-inch Split Cowhide — Merchant and Mills

Available from Wool Friends when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Strapping for bag or belt making. Use in conjunction with rivets, sam browns and d-rings. 2.8mm thick, 1/2", 3/4", or 1" wide. Lengths vary, but your strap will be no shorter than 44". Split cowhide comes from the underlying layer of a cow's skin. By running the wet hide through a splitter, the tanner yields two or more 'splits' of leather, depending on initial thickness of the hide. This strap is suitable for using with our RTR rucksack pattern.
