Leather Material used for reinforcements.

The leather you are referring to is called leather splits. They come in something close to a half hide. The price is very reasonable for this type of product. The ones I've been buying are sort of a blueish gray in color. I use them for chafe areas. They do get brittle as they age as you probably see on the piece you are working on. But great for the purpose of chafe.
