Chap & Seating Splits are soft, durable cowhide suede double butts with a velvety surface and plenty of flexibility. The comfortable hand makes them especially well suited for projects that need to bend, move, and conform without feeling stiff.

At 3–4 oz., this leather has enough substance for chaps, moccasins, saddle seats, bags, pouches, costume pieces, fringe, and other leather goods while still maintaining the soft drape expected from suede. The double butt cut also provides a useful amount of relatively consistent cutting area for both wearable projects and larger components.

The suede surface adds texture and a soft feel to finished work, making it a good choice anywhere the leather itself is meant to be seen and handled. It can also be used for decorative panels, craft projects, upholstery accents, and other applications where a classic suede appearance fits the design.

Whether you're building something for the saddle, making comfortable footwear, or adding softness and movement to a custom project, these splits offer a practical combination of flexibility, texture, and durability.

Please Note: As a natural suede split, slight variation in nap, texture, thickness, and surface appearance should be expected from piece to piece.
