WUTA Epsom Calfskin Leather — 1 / 3 / 5 sq ft
Top-grain chrome-tanned calfskin
Brand: WUTA
Top-grain calfskin with a palm-grain embossed pattern; medium firmness and an initial thickness of 3.5–4.5 oz / 1.4–1.8 mm.
Features
- 10 colors. A free thinning service is available for material up to 40 cm wide and 0.8 mm and thicker thickness; noted at order time. Thinned product cannot be returned/exchanged.
- Area is calculated over the entire surface of the irregularly cut piece. Source conversions: 1 sq ft ≈ 900 cm²; 3 sq ft ≈ 2700 cm²; 5 sq ft ≈ 4500 cm². Length-to-width ratio is at most 3:1, e.g. 1:1 or 2:1.
- For a 3:1 cut, only sample dimensions: 1 sq ft ≈ 52 × 17 cm / 20 × 7 in; 3 ≈ 91 × 30 cm / 36 × 12 in; 5 ≈ 118 × 38 cm / 46 × 15 in. A shortfall in one area is compensated in another; keep extra allowance in your cutting plan.
- Since it is cut from whole hide, minor scratches, scars, natural grain and wrinkles are possible. Monitor/light may show a different color; for quality issues and whole-hide or a different size, contact the seller.
- Although the tanning method is listed as chrome, the source's general notes section also mentions suitability for projects requiring vegetable-tanned leather; the product's main process information is chrome tanning.
- The Epsom finish describes a high-pressure embossed pattern and surface coating applied after chrome tanning. Fine, even, palm-line-like texture, light weight, form retention despite the stiffness, scratch/wear resistance and water resistance are noted. The rigid structure helps the bag hold its shape.
- Dip dyeing is noted to ensure the color penetrates and is even throughout. The smooth coating resists stains/moisture; many spills and marks can be wiped clean. The Epsom edge is not finished with traditional burnishing polish; edge paint must be applied.
- 10 colors shown in the photos: Noir, Etoupe, Gold, Rouge Vif, Orange, Craie, Rose Confetti, Bleu Maquis, Anemone and Vert Bambou.
- The general purchase photo shows a 33.5 × 27 cm rectangular comparison sample; you cannot choose which part of the hide is cut. Dimensions are approximate for irregular cutting. A shortfall in one part of the hide's area is made up elsewhere; keep a cutting-loss allowance in your project.
- The general thickness image shows an initial thickness of 1.8–2.4 mm (4.5–6 oz), with a per-section variance of ±0.2 mm; this does not match this product's own spec of 1.4–1.8 mm. The chart's application reference: for bag/flap/front-back/side-bottom parts, standard 1.8–2.5 mm with a choice of 1.8–2.4 or 2 mm; for the main body of wallets/card holders/coin purses, standard 1.5–2 mm with a choice of 1.5 or 2 mm; for dividers/card slots/linings, standard 0.8–1.2 mm with a choice of 1 mm.
- Consumption per the image, not accounting for cutting loss: for small card holders/coin purses/mini pouches, up to 1 sq.ft (purchase example 1 sq.ft or 30 × 30 cm); for short wallets/passport holders/small storage bags, 1–2 sq.ft (2 sq.ft or 30 × 60 cm); for long wallets/clutches/cosmetic bags/pencil cases, 2–3 sq.ft (3 sq.ft).
- For medium waist/shoulder/messenger/saddle-type bags, consumption is 3–5 sq.ft, purchase 3/4/5 sq.ft; for large handbags/totes/backpacks, 5–15 sq.ft, purchase 5 sq.ft in pieces or as whole hide. These are reference figures for a typical project; actual quantity depends on the design, craftsmanship and the area used. The image also notes that natural marks include pores, and that there is no changeless return/exchange without cause.
