These are raised and tanned in South America.  These sides are very clean but have some imperfections such as a brand or scratches but have a good consistency for crafting and tooling.  Thickness is most often between 3-4 oz. but expect slight variance.  Great for making wallets, masks, clutch purses or notebook covers.  Can be used for lining as well when some strength is desired.  This is a lot of leather!
