Our loss is your gain! These Practice/Damaged Leather Hides are perfect for makers who want the feel of real leather without the full-price commitment. These hides may feature deep creases, marks, ink transfer, uneven patina, or other cosmetic flaws — making them unsuitable for regular retail, but ideal for learning, testing patterns, or working around the blemishes to use the good parts of the hide. They’re a great way to build confidence in marking, cutting, and sewing on leather — especially for those working with it for the first time.
 
Because these hides vary, we cannot guarantee square footage or color when ordering a practice hide. Each one offers a unique opportunity to experiment, refine your skills, and create something amazing.
