ACHETER VEG-TAN CHEZ TANDY, C'EST MÊME
MIEUX AVEC NOS NOUVELLES COLLECTIONS !
Lors de l'achat de veg-tan, vous devez prendre en compte de nombreux facteurs : que faites-vous ? Comment est-ce utilisé? Combien en faites-vous ? Les caractéristiques naturelles et les imperfections peuvent ajouter du caractère et du charme à certains projets, et pour d'autres, seule la peau la plus vierge fera l'affaire. Pour certains maroquiniers, avoir un tannage constamment disponible est essentiel pour leur entreprise, tandis que d'autres peuvent préférer avoir une variété de tannages et de grades à portée de main. Quels que soient vos besoins en matière de bronzage végétal, Tandy a ce qu'il vous faut !
We inspect and sort our veg-tan to ensure you get the quaility leather you expect at a great price with less time searching for the perfect hide. Unlike Tannery Run leather, which has an assortment of grades combined together, Tandy sorts our veg-tan into A/B, C, and D/E collections making it easy for you to choose the amount of character you want in your leather.
Natural tannins derived from plants and bark from trees like quebracho, chestnut, and mimosa give the leather its final color and fiber density. Need the same, consistent tannage in every piece? Check out our Tandy Selection collection, always available in our Mimosa Mix which has a natural color and accepts dyes well and our Quebracho & Chestnut Mix which has rich, warm properties that make it a great option for tooling.
Various parts of a leather hide will have different qualities. Bends and butts are the stiffest and most durable and typically conatain the fewest natural defects. Shoulders are also strong and durable but with a little more flexibility. Bellies offer more stretch and are generally less consistent in thickness. Their long, narrow shape make them perfect for small projects.
