Leather 101's
At The Leather Guy, our American Deerskin is graded into four levels: Premium Plus and Premium offer soft, clean hides with minimal flaws — great for detailed work. Economy has more blemishes and holes but still plenty of usable space. Craft grade is best for patchwork or rustic projects, with heavy markings throughout. Each hide is sorted by hand to help you find the right fit for your needs.
