It is 3.0mm Black Alaska S/Butts from NZ Leather Suppliers. Just had a look and they have Black Alaska vege tanned in stock. Maybe I was wrong about it being a chrome tanned leather... I picked it up right before our first lock down. I haven't been interested in wet molding it, I've preferred to design my pouches so water can easily run out the bottom. I've dunked my hunting belt on more than one occasion, crossing slow waist deep rivers.
