This large calfskin would be ideal of garment or bag making. Incredibly soft and supple, it has a great drape and movement without being too light weight. We think it would make an amazing coat or soft tote bag! Deadstock leather and suede, leftover after a designer had finished producing their collection. Size: 110 x

What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
·Suede — Softer and more flexible than full-grain leather, but more susceptible to stains and water damage. Not ideal for wet climates or heavy daily use.
·Made by The New Craft House Ltd in United Kingdom.

Longevity & Care

·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.

·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.

·Suede — Apply a suede protector spray before first wear. Brush with a suede brush to restore nap. Avoid water and salt.

Cost Per Use

·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
·Suede — Suede looks great but requires more maintenance and has a shorter effective lifespan than full-grain leather.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 1 years — and falls to roughly 21¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
