Hide, Ox

Prime even-grained oxhide; strong stock for saddles, breeches, shoe uppers. Price is for one whole skin.

A prime oxhide—salted and folded for the tanner’s yard—the standard stock for strong leather goods. Tanners soften it into saddle leather, breeches, and heavy shoe uppers; the grain is even and the thickness consistent. Carters and merchants prize oxhide for durability.
