Product Overview
Ilgaz Double Shoulders from Sepici Tannery represent the purest form of traditional vegetable-tanned leather. Each hide is tanned slowly using a secret antique recipe rich in oak, chestnut, mimosa, and quebracho extracts, resulting in a leather full of character, aroma, and durability.
This 8/9oz leather is sourced from European steers and young bulls, featuring a tight grain and exceptional molding response. With no surface finishing, its semi-pigmented full-grain texture develops a deep caramel patina over time — aging naturally and beautifully.
Economy Grade: This leather contains natural blemishes including scratches, bug bites, and other surface imperfections. It is priced affordably, making it ideal for practice projects, prototyping, or budget-conscious crafting where cosmetic perfection is not required.
