Is this material thin enough to be embroidered?

I would not think it would be thin enough to be embroidered as it is real leather. I had to use a leather needle to stitch together the project I made with what I purchased. I would say it is about 1/4" thick.

will the 2 hides left. cover 6 chars 2x2 feet

It's possible, however as each give is unique, it's best to buy them and lay out your patterns on the actual hide. If it's short of what's required for your project, please call 212.643.1702 and we will help send a replacement or an extra 24x24 cut.

Coud I get 2 pieces 60" x 18" good leather out of one hide?

no, it will be very difficult to get that size cuts.. you could probably get 2 cuts of 15"x 60" from one 22 sq.ft. skin. but you will easily get it at least 3-4 18"x60" cuts from a full hide of 42 sq.ft.

Can I use this to make a motorcycle seat?

The piece I received was as thick as the pair of chaps as well as the vest I have but not sure how much thicker a piece would be needed for a motorcycle seat. Not sure if that helps answer your question or not as far as the thickness goes but hope it does.

Beautifully tanned leather

Beautifully tanned hide. I used it to recover a chair for my daughter in law and she loves it. This leather is perfect for upholstery. Buy more than you think you’ll need since this is a natural product and therefore isn’t a uniform shape.

Nice leather. Exactly as described

The leather is good leather. Pull-up effect, soft, thin, easy to work with for furnitures. It is just it doesn’t match the color of my other naturals for upholstery of the chair. Now it’s a ‘Frankenstein’ armchair.

Mixed Result

The leather itself is of very good quality but the cuts are too irregular & required a lot of work to get cut down to the squared of pieces I required for my application. Great to be able to find an item like this on Amazon.

Total perfection

First off this piece of leather that I got was the perfect color, and super soft with zero blems!!! Unlike so many reviews that it was like 1/4" thick (like leather shoe soles) it is approx 1/8" thick. going to order another piece in a lighter color!!!!
