2–2.2mm Black Full-Grain Double Butt Cow Leather

Description

Black Full-Grain Double Butt Cow Leather

Create handmade leather goods with this 2–2.2mm black full-grain double butt cow leather from New Zealand. Featuring a black resin-finished grain surface and a crust reverse, it offers a practical starting point for bags, straps, accessories and other leathercraft projects.

The black colour works well with contrasting stitching and a wide range of hardware finishes, including nickel, brass and antique brass. Use it for a coordinated collection of leather goods or as a contrasting panel alongside other colours. At approximately 2–2.2mm thick, it is worth considering for projects where heavier belting leather would add too much bulk. Choose the cut option that best suits your pattern layout and the lengths you need.

Applications

Consider this black full-grain leather for:
• Handmade bag panels and gussets
• Bag straps and handles
• Pouches and accessory cases
• Notebook covers
• Leather tabs and decorative panels
• Layered or lined belt projects

Match the leather’s firmness and thickness to your design before cutting. Small items with several overlapping layers may require skiving to reduce bulk around seams, folds and hardware attachments.

Why Choose This Leather?

The double butt format provides a useful cutting area for laying out panels and straps. Full-grain leather retains the natural grain surface, giving each piece its own character. The black face provides a versatile colour for everyday accessories, while the crust reverse allows you to choose a lining or backing treatment to suit your project.

Single and double butt options help you select the quantity you need. Horizontal and vertical cut choices also let you plan around the shape of your pattern pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the double butt?
The average double butt measures approximately 20–22 sq ft. Leather is a natural material, so individual sizes and outlines vary. This measurement refers to the double butt, rather than the single butt option.

Is the back finished like the front?
No. The grain surface has a black resin finish, while the reverse is crust.

Can I order a single butt?
Yes. Select a single or double butt and your preferred horizontal or vertical cut from the available options.

Is this suitable for a heavy-duty belt?
At 2–2.2mm, it is thinner than typical heavy belting leather. Consider a lined or layered construction, or choose thicker belting leather when your design requires more substance.

Natural Leather Variation

Grain, markings, outline and thickness may vary across each piece. Allow for these natural features when planning your cutting layout.
