Split Cowhide 1"

Strapping for bag or belt making.

Use in conjunction with rivets or Chicago screws, buckles, and d-rings. 2.8mm thick, 1″ wide. Lengths vary, but your strap will be no shorter than 44″. Perfect for the 1″ brass or nickel d-rings.

Split cowhide comes from the underlying layer of a cow’s skin. By running the wet hide through a splitter, the tanner yields two or more ‘splits’ of leather, depending on initial thickness of the hide.

This strap is suitable for our using with our Jack Tar & Costermonger patterns.
