Hermann Oak
"I had never used Hermann Oak before. It is hard to explain the difference. I’m an absolute beginner, and I could immediately feel/tell the difference. Worth trying in a small piece like this before investing in a bigger one."

How can it be this cheap??? Because every single veg tannery on the planet has a common problem…They tan some leather that falls below their standard grading levels. And they don’t know it, until the leather has gone through the tanning process. So they accumulate quantities of sides that are difficult for them to sell to a manufacturer. The leather is exactly the same quality as their higher grades, but the surface or grain defect areas cause the sides to fall into an economy grade. Make no mistake…..there’s a lot of good leather in these sides, and some could probably easily have been in the Craftsman selection. Hermann Oak wants as many as possible in the leather world to try their wonderful leather, and they realize the cost can be a factor. So working together, SLC and Hermann Oak, have come up with a plan to make it possible (and affordable) so that many of you can experience and hopefully realize the many benefits of working with their leather.

I wish I had switched to Hermann Oak sooner
"My clients have always been complimentary of my work but it was, frankly, tiring having to sometimes beat other brands like a rented mule to get a burnishing result that was neither as contrasting nor overall better than my first Hermann Oak piece. The client commented on the color depth so I know it was a better piece."
"Amazing leather. A little dirtier than expected, but the quality is still great"
Hermann Oak-Best Price
"Wow! I don’t know how you do it. This is a great side of leather for a great price. About 5 years ago I lived 15 minutes from the hide house. I would walk in and say “I want this piece of leather” then I would walk out. Can’ do that now. I moved. Now that I’ve found you I can once again get good leather for a good price. I’ll be back. Thanks."
economy side
"Very low grade will go with craftsman side next time. can make it work on smaller projects. It has alot of bad marks in the center of hide. Have to see when I get into it if the lost bad parts make up for the savings. Not going to get much out of it for ledgers or note books"
Economy HO 5/6oz
"I ordered a side of economy, veg 10 Herman Oak 56 ounce. The quality was better than I expected. However, it took seven days to get shipped from the store. Once it finally shipped, it got here quickly, but seven days seems a little long to me when I’ve got orders to go out."
Wow this is a great buy
"I got the 8-11 ounce and it's 11 plus ounces. Great for sturdy unlined belts"

"Great way to save money on great leather. Very satisfied with my purchase."
Economy Plus worth it?
"If you buy economy and give this a 3* or less… buy a better grade. I bought the economy plus in a 2/3oz and a 5/6oz. I like them both. I make wallets. So I don’t need a perfect hide all throughout. However, I was expecting worse. These hides are still VERY usable! So, worth it? If you are not making the highest end leather goods, and you are a maker trying to put out high quality goods, but on a budget. Economy plus is PLENTY of usable space. In BOTH sides I got, I may not be able to use 2 square feet."
