Look at this pull-up! SLC Oil Tan - Folklore is a rich dark brown leather with a heavily oiled finish and a lighter brown pull-up that really comes alive when the leather is bent, folded, or worked. The medium-firm temper gives it plenty of body while still allowing the leather to flex and develop character with use.

At 5–6 oz., Folklore is a great choice for heavy chinks, work aprons, large duffel bags, backpacks, totes, tack components, straps, and other projects where you want a finished leather with good body and a rugged look. The darker surface and lighter pull-up create natural contrast around folds, seams, handles, and other areas that get worked over time.

This leather can also be split when you need a lighter weight for your project. Taken down to approximately 4–4½ oz., it will have a little softer feel and works well for chaps, chinks, bags, totes, duffels, backpacks, and other projects where the full 5–6 oz. weight may be more than you need.

Folklore is made for projects where you want the leather to show some life. Scuffs, bends, and handling will continue to change the pull-up and add to the broken-in character of the finished piece.

Please Note: Splitting may leave thinner areas around the belly portion of the side. Natural markings, tonal variation, and changes in the pull-up are normal characteristics of this leather.
