Caiman Tails – Exotic Leather

Quick Overview:

These exotic panels bring a lot of character to small leather goods. Each tail runs around 15 to 18 inches long with a bold, bony texture that stands out on inlays, watch bands and detail work. They are lightweight, flexible and easy to work with.

Key Specs:

• Finish: Glazed exotic scale pattern
• Thickness: 2 to 3 oz
• Average Size: Approximately 0.5 sq ft, 15 to 18 inches long
• Colors: Cognac, Walnut and Black

Things to Know Before You Buy:

• You may receive either a hornback or a belly cut. Both are caiman and both look sharp, but the texture is different, so order two if you need a matched pair
• Every tail is a natural product. Scale size and pattern vary piece to piece
• At half a square foot these are accent pieces, not panels for a full build

Best For:

• Inlay work on belts, holsters, wallets and notebook covers
• Watch bands and small carry goods
• Custom detailing on boots and dog gear
• Trying exotic leather without committing to a full skin

More About This Product:

Caiman tails are a simple way to add something bold to your work. They cut clean, lay flat and do not add much bulk, which is what makes them work for inlay. We have used them on everything from holster panels to keychains. A small piece of exotic against plain veg tan does more for a project than an hour of tooling, and it costs a lot less than a full skin.
