The above diagram should be used as a guide when

determining square footage requirements for leather.

Individual hides may vary in size, but most large cuts

will require a full hide. For example, a 5' x 5' cut

cannot be achieved from a 25 square foot half hide.

Glossary 

One 54-inch fabric yard is equal to 18 square feet of leather. This equation takes into account the waste factor.

Average hide size = 55-60 square feet
Average half hide = 27 square feet

Half hides are cut down the backbone, in the middle of the hide, from the neck to the tail.

As a product nature, leather hides will have various shapes and sizes. Garrett sources the finest raw materials in the world, yet natural markings will still appear in the form of healed scars, healed bug bites, small cuts or holes. All hides should be carefully inspected prior to marking or cutting your patterns. In order to receive the best possible cutting yield, begin with your largest patterns first.
