Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides

Choose between Assorted Earth Tones and Black!

We have a little something for everyone in our selection of Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides! Whether you need a whole side or part of a side, with several buying options, we've got you covered. Great for beginners and old hands alike, these value-priced oil tans have become some of our best-selling leathers—and it's easy to see why.

No two batches are exactly alike, and that's part of the fun. Most pieces have a smooth grain, although some beautiful pebble grains occasionally make their way into the mix. Some are oilier than others, some are firmer, some have a strong pull-up, and others have a more subtle pull-up or distressed appearance. At these prices, occasional natural range markings, brands and other imperfections may be present, adding even more character to the leather.

With so much variety, the project possibilities are nearly endless. These oil tans are excellent for chaps, saddle strings, bags, totes, backpacks, satchels, aprons, journals, moccasins, linings, and just about anything else you'd normally reach for oil-tanned leather to make.

Options

$25 Option – Approximately 6–8 Sq. Ft.
A great choice for smaller projects, experimenting with oil tan leather, or adding some variety to your leather stash. Pieces will generally fall within the 4–6 oz. range and may occasionally be slightly heavier than the listed square footage.

$50 Option – Approximately 15–18 Sq. Ft.
Need more leather for bags, aprons, satchels, or other larger projects? These sides offer generous cutting area while maintaining the same variety of grain, pull-up, temper, and character found throughout the Odd Lot Oil Tan selection. Most will fall within the 4–6 oz. range and may occasionally run a little heavier.

2 for $75 – Approximately 26–34 Sq. Ft. Total
You'll receive two good-quality sides totaling approximately 26–34 square feet. The sides may be cowhide or Water Buffalo and will generally fall within the 4–6 oz. range and may occasionally run a little heavier.

You might get a 12 and 14 sq. ft. side, a 14 and 16, a 20 and 13, a 17 and 16... well, you get the picture. Individual side sizes will vary, but the pair will fall within the approximate total square footage range. Most have a smooth grain, although pebble grain may occasionally be included. Many feature a nice pull-up, while others may have a more distressed appearance.

Please Note: When possible, we try to keep both matching pairs and assorted pairs on hand for the 2-for-$75 option. If you have a preference, add a note to your order at checkout and your gatherer will do their best to accommodate your request. Preferences cannot be guaranteed. Also, like all natural leather, there could be brands, range marks, and other natural characteristics. 

Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides are a great way to get plenty of useful, character-rich leather at a price that leaves more room in the budget for your next project—or maybe the one after that, too.
