Leather Selection
In this video we used Valdibrana Conceria, Tarano Italian Vachetta Leather – 3.5oz (~1.5mm) thick. This pattern is designed for a leather in that thickness range. Slightly thicker or slightly thinner will probably work but it is optimized for 1.5mm. If you are laser cutting I HIGHLY suggest sticking with a pure vegetable tanned leather.
