What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 10,100 EXP, which places it 5th of the 6 Lv 15 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Heads Up, returns 18,910 EXP for the same allowance, 87% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 6,110 EXP to 18,910 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 209%, so the wrong pick leaves 12,800 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 20 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 24,710 EXP per allowance, 31% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 10 rung behind tops out at 9,990 EXP.
At Lv 15 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 16,554 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 78,432 EXP, which puts this leve 39% below its own category's average.
Hard Leather Choker ×1 is a Lv 15 Leatherworker recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 2 units of raw material and 3 crystals.
Handing that in returns 5,050 EXP and 113 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
