Mulch Leather Co Premium Quality Sheep Skin Whole Nappa Soft Hide - NO Holes & CUTS (Black)

The leather was so paper thin, not gray but appeared to be dirty.

Very nice leather but one problem, it's painted. I got the white so I could dye it whatever color I wanted when I eventually decided on one. This was for a book cover. I thought it was bleached, undyed leather but it turns out it's been painted with leather paint. The quality of the painting is top notch (I couldn't tell until it was too late) and I have no complaints about it. Clearly they know what they're doing. The hide is very nice and incredibly supple. But since I didn't know it was white paint when I tried to dye it the alcohol based dye mixed with the white paint and came out very pale. I was able to strip it back with rubbing alcohol and a lot of scrubbing and then it took the dye just fine. But good golly it was a lot of extra work I hadn't planned on doing. I will definitely order from them again, like I said it's great leather, but be aware of the paint. Get the color you want or use leather paint over the existing finish. Dye just isn't the way to go with this. Please don't let this review keep you from ordering from them. Im giving them 5 stars because it was my ignorance at fault and I would definitely recommend it to other people. But they really should state what the finish is more clearly on the listing. That was my only problem.

Nice, smooth, no flaws.

This leather is beautiful and so soft, easy to work with while making my teddy bears.

The hide was beautiful; soft with rich color. Now a caveat. I am using with the suede side showing and there is a streak in the color, but for what I am doing it does not matter. But if you plan to use the suede side you might proceed with caution. Maybe contact the seller and let them know.
