Product Description
Experience the exceptional quality of Sepici Newhaven Tan Leather, a premium vegetable-tanned hide that showcases the pinnacle of traditional leathercraft. This distinguished 4-5oz leather is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, employing time-honored vegetable tanning methods that can take up to 40 days to complete – a patient process that yields remarkable results.

Newhaven stands apart with its distinctive characteristics that appeal to discerning leathercrafters. The leather is drum dyed completely through, ensuring consistent coloration that maintains its integrity even when cut, burnished, or scratched. This through-dying process means your projects will maintain their beautiful tan color throughout their lifetime.

At 4-5oz thickness (1.6-2.0mm), this leather provides the ideal balance of substance and flexibility for a wide range of applications. The traditional vegetable tanning imparts a unique hand-feel that combines structure with a pleasant suppleness that only improves with use.

Leathercrafters will appreciate Newhaven's exceptional working properties. It responds beautifully to tooling, stamping, and carving techniques while maintaining enough firmness for clean cutting and stitching. The natural grain takes dyes and finishes exceptionally well, allowing for customization while maintaining the leather's inherent beauty.

Perhaps most distinctive is Newhaven's characteristic aroma – the unmistakable scent of quality vegetable-tanned leather that speaks to its natural origins and traditional processing. This sensory quality adds to the overall crafting experience and reminds us of leather's timeless appeal.

Please note: As a natural product, each hide will have unique characteristics and subtle variations in color, texture, and markings. These are not defects but rather the authentic hallmarks of premium vegetable-tanned leather crafted through traditional methods.
