Authentic Super Gator Extra Large Hornback Leather Hides & 12x12 Panels

This premium top-grain cowhide leather features our largest, most magnificent repeating extra-large hornback and side crocodile embossing. This specialized design masterfully replicates the prominent, raised spine ridges and dramatic scale patterns found on giant, luxury exotic alligator hides. Meticulously finished by our 4th-generation tanning family using classic hand-rubbed aniline dyes and our signature natural dull wax topcoat, this leather showcases incredible color depth. At the final stage, it is washed to semi-shrink the texture, achieving a stunningly realistic hornback look paired with a soft-to-medium temper.

Please note: Because of our traditional hand-dyed aniline finishing methods, premium wax treatments, and final washing processes to semi-shrink the texture, colors will naturally vary from skin to skin, making every single half hide and 12"x12" pre-cut panel completely unique.

Our 12"x12" pre-cut craft panels are cleanly cut to size and absolutely perfect for custom western wallets, detailed cardholders, rugged notebook covers, distinct hat patches, and striking bag accents. For larger production runs, our premium side hides offer exceptional cutting yields with zero minimum order rules.
