Thickness: 1.1-1.3mm / 3 oz. Oryx is definitely one of the most unique leathers in our collection. These hide originate in Namibia Africa where the Oryx (antelope like animal) roams free. Their hides are truly unique in the world of leather. Because these animals have to endure a long dry season, they have specially adapted to store water in their skin, making a uniquely soft spongy, yet heavy leather. Skins are from wild animals and contain scars and other imperfections so a distressed appearance is part of the appeal of this leather.
