How to measure square feet for Leather?

Please note 10 Square foot is not: 10 Foot x 10 Foot = 100 Square Foot

  • Leather has a natural shape. Therefore, the leather will measure as examples below:

  1. 10 Square foot of leather is usually measured 3.6-foot x 3 foot = 10 Square Foot +
  2. 100 Square foot of leather is measured 28-foot x 3.8 foot = 100 Square Foot +

Our leather square footage is measured by computer. Each section of the leather is measured.

Ordered 12" x 24" leather, 1.2mm thick, Black. Perfectly rectangular with 1/8" extra all around. Supple and flawless grain, color & finish. Smells as leather should. Looks like garment grade or better to me. This piece came folded, as mentioned in other reviews, but creases were not sharp. My application was for recovering office chair armrests, stretched a bit and fully glued in place. Creases were not an issue for me. I suspect the slight creases could be dealt with by a person with leather experience but I am not one. Would absolutely buy from Reed again.

I wasn't expecting to get such a nice piece of leather! This stuff is excellent and it makes for a beautiful bottom in my woodworking boxes to take it up a notch!

The leather piece I needed mine for is for an executive size office chair (12" x 24" cut) as I needed 6" x 12" for each arm rest. I just folded this piece in half and cut evenly in half. The rectangular shape you receive is a bit more than 12" wide, but is 24" in length. No worries that the piece you get is unusual cuts or anything. Just a straight 12" x 24" piece is what you'll get. but I understand the concern, as I thought the same thing.The leather smells and feels like genuine leather. It's not too thick and not too thin. I have a photo of what I was replacing it with. The old is on the left side and the new piece of leather is on the right in one of the later photos. It appears to be almost a millimeter more in thickness. However, due to the age of my old arm rest's leather, wearing down and shrinking from usage, it may have been the same as the new leather's thickness.The leather is not so thick that it isn't pliable enough to wrap-fold the rounded edges of the arm rests, it is firm but bendable to not leave fold marks too much. Being my first time, that was the most difficult part. I also use the scrap piece of trim for the underside of the arm rest from the old arm rests to keep it stable and hopefully durable. It worked, it's really strong and aestethically pleasing having a beaded edge look to it as it was before.Each photo has different lighting, night time when I was done and how it appears in tghe day's blue hue lighting so you could see the leather's color and sheen. The leather's sheen does match the unworn cushioned back side of my desk chair. These photos were taken before I got all the duct tape off and the leftover duct tape's glue residue that I hadn't cleaned off yet when I took these photos.Today is February 10, 2023 and the job has been done and in use for 8 days so far. Since reupholstering and cleaning the rest of the duct tape's glue residue, it's back to almost new looking again. The important part is folding over the rounded edges if redoing the leather covers on the arm rests and making sure you use the right size staples with stapler. I used a Stanley ProSharpShooter stapler and half inch/12mm staples, when I could have used 3/8" even 5/16" to staple the leather onto the arm rest internal boards. I just pounded them down with a hammer and checked to make sure they were stapled in firmly and not loose. My suggestion, just make sure to check for any welt impressions from misaligned padding or in need of a bit of padding, or staples, wood, etc., etc. on the exposed top part you're covering before stapling down your new leather. I do have one spot on my left arm rest with a bump, not sure what it is though, but the padding must have been worn. Hopefully this company will be around if it happens to wear down and come through.This as good as it gets though, for less than $20, and not having to buy some really expensive-not so good of materials type of desk chair they're out there selling now (but I do have an extra new desk chair now that I bought a new one from Amazon as I thought of this restore project AFTERWARDS haha)All in all, I'm glad I found this company on Amazon and was able to get the exact size I needed without wasting a bunch of leather, if it had been too large for my project. It turned out great and will last who know how many more years, maybe 5, 10 years?Thanks, Reed Leathers Hides. Now there's one less thing in the landfill and getting more use out of a completely perfect desk chair. I fully recommend this Amazon seller ✪✰✪✰✪

The leather is soft and measurements are as described, the only problem I’m having is the leather does not skive well at all. Overall ok, I’m using it to make a rings planner cover with credit card slots, snap closure pockets and zip closure pockets. Will update once further into the project.

I bought this leather to make a custom sheath for an unusually shaped knife and it worked perfectly for the job. I used an awl to punch the holes I sewed through and sinew in a large needle to sew it up.There is a decent amount of leather in this piece and I have plenty more for other projects.The color and thickness of the leather are consistent throughout the piece and it is very high quality. I would definitely use this company again if I decide to make leather wearables.

This is a very good quality piece of leather: The outside finish is smooth and consistently textured, and the inside finish is soft. This leather is and strong, cuts easily with sharp scissors. I was able to punch holes in it easily. It stitches easily with waxed thread. It holds metal rivets well. I made a 10" x 6" x 2" belt-mounted pouch that held up during all day use.The thickness of this leather is best suited for upholstering things or for small leather pouches. This is thin enough but durable that it would conform really well for seat cushions and similar use. This leather is not ideal for larger pouches or bags that require more structure or thicker leather.Overall this is a great product of great quality.
