About Bookbinding Pigskin Leather

Bookbinding Pigskin is a lightweight, durable leather that's ideal for bookbinding, Bible covers, and small leather goods. With a thickness of 0.4-0.6 mm (1-2 oz) and averaging 12-16 sq. ft. per hide, it stretches over book boards without adding too much mass. Soft and flexible yet highly durable for its weight, Bookbinding Pigskin is the proven choice for bookbinding, antiquarian books, and book restorations.

Chrome-tanned with a durable resin film finish, Bookbinding Pigskin Leather resists moisture, sunlight, handling, and the wear that can occur from being stretched over rigid surfaces like book boards. The lightly embossed cross grain delivers a classic, traditional aesthetic that bookbinders know and love. Available in 9 colors.

Please Note

Leather is a natural product. We strive to keep new lots within size, color, and quality tolerance, but some hides may have slight variations in size or color, or have natural imperfections such as scars or small holes.

Hide sizes may vary. Leather square footage isn’t measured as a true length-by-width area — it’s based on the hide’s surface area before finishing or shrinkage. Tanneries calculate footage from the raw hide stage and stamp the size on the flesh (back) side of the hide. We use the measurements provided by the tannery, but some variation in actual size is normal.
