• Scrap bundles come with both large and small remnant pieces cut from all areas of the hide. These pieces are great for small leather items, trim, repairs, practice, wallets, key fobs, test pieces, and many other leather projects.

Grade: Scrap comes from the same top-grade leathers we sell as panels, straps, sides, etc. Please note that scrap remnants will often come with imperfections, irregular shapes, mixed grain areas, or other natural variation.

About the Leather Types:

• Harness: The Hoffmans Harness leather is a full grain, oiled, and shiny leather with a slight pull-up. It has a 100% aniline finish, is polishable, and water repellant. It is a chrome leather but has a stiffer vegetable character and look.
• Michigan: The same leather as Hoffmans 'Palmer' but not tumbled, so slightly stiffer with a smoother grain. The Michigan leather is a full grain, has a 100% aniline finish, is polishable and water repellant. It is a chrome leather but has a vegetable character and look.
• Palmer: The most popular in the Hoffmans line, Palmer is a full grain, tumbled leather. It has a semi-aniline finish, is polishable and water repellant. It is a chrome leather but has a vegetable character and look. It is the same leather as Michigan, but a tumbled version.
• Paris: The Paris leather is a full grain Nappa leather with a waxy top that is tumbled with a smooth surface grain. It is water repellant and has a pigmented finish. Nappa leather by nature is a very soft leather, however with use of particular tannins during the tanning process it is extremely durable. It is also a breathable leather and is chrome tanned.
• Sprinter: Sprinter is a full grain, shrunken and tumbled leather giving it an irregular grain character. Rather than being plated with a grain like the 'Sprinter Nevada', the regular Sprinter leather is naturally shrunken and tumbled giving the leather a natural and irregular grain - meaning the grain is less consistent in texture. It has a semi-aniline finish and is water repellant. It is a chrome leather.
• Sprinter Nevada: Sprinter Nevada is a full grain, chrome tanned leather with a 100% aniline finish and water-repellent properties. It is embossed, also called plated, and tumbled to create a consistent grain texture across the hide. Compared to standard Sprinter leather, Sprinter Nevada has a more uniform grain rather than a naturally shrunken texture.

The Tannery: Richard Hoffmans of Nettetal, Germany (est. 1899)

Is scrap leather a deal?

Yes! Our scrap leather boxes are made up of the same quality leathers we sell in larger cuts, just marked down because of the odd shapes and remnant mixture. These boxes are a great option for smaller projects, testing, repairs, and leatherworkers who want top leather at a lower price.
