Wickett & Craig 'American Vachetta' Leather Side - Natural

The Tannery: Wickett & Craig of Curwensville, PA, USA (est. 1867)

  • American Vachetta: Wickett & Craig's natural 'American Vachetta' leather was originally developed with a special mix of compounds and modeled after the European style Vachetta. What makes Vachetta leather so special is the patina it develops with use. Aging to a caramel color, the American Vachetta will quickly burnish to a rich patina. Another factor that typically sets Vachetta leather apart is its softer temper and rounder hand when compared to the Wickett natural carving leather.
  • American Vachetta vs Natural Carving:
    • Vachetta has a softer temper (less stiff)
    • Vachetta will patina to a caramel color, while natural carving will become more of a pink.
  • This is a natural untreated leather and so is made to take on dye and oil exceptionally well so that you can create your desired finish.
  • Used by crafters looking to stamp, mold, dye, finish and customize their leather for belts, bags, high-end leather goods and accessories, equestrian gear, and much more.
  • The back is natural and unfinished with a clean flat back.

Luxurious

The first thing I noticed was how smooth and soft it felt. Very similar to calf leather. So far I’ve made a few wallets out of it and a flask cover. I’m very happy with it. I will buy more for sure. It shipped very quickly even with the quarantine going on.

Good leather!

Really nice leather. I have bought two of these in different weights. The leather gets a really nice patina after a while and is really easy to work with. A little soft, but not too soft for most projects. It takes dye and oils really well and is also easy to stamp. Also very happy with the two side...

Beautiful Leather.

This leather is great to work with. Had a issue with dip dying as it seemed the leather didn't want to take the dye as well in some areas, but that will not prevent me from buying again, or recommending this leather. I used Fiebing's deglaze, Neatsfoot Oil, and their Pro Dye.
