FAQs on Leather Supply
Find all answers to your questions about leather supplies, buying leather, and leather materials
We specialize in four main types of premium leather: Italian Leather (luxurious and durable, perfect for high-end bags and accessories), Vegetable Tanned Leather (natural and moldable, ideal for tooling and traditional crafting), Chrome-Tanned Leather (flexible and water-resistant, great for everyday items), and Suede Leather (soft and elegant, perfect for garments and luxury projects). The best choice depends on your specific project needs - contact us with details about your project and we'll recommend the perfect leather type.
All our leather comes from premium tanneries with quality certifications. Genuine leather has a distinctive natural smell, feels supple but firm, and shows natural grain patterns. We provide detailed descriptions of each leather's origin, tanning process, and grade. Our Italian leather comes from renowned Tuscan tanneries, while our vegetable-tanned leather is processed using traditional, chemical-free methods. We guarantee authenticity and offer samples so you can inspect quality before purchasing.
We offer FREE Standard Shipping nationwide (2-5 business days) and Express Shipping for $6.99 (1-3 business days). Orders typically ship within 24-48 hours of purchase. We use secure packaging to protect leather during transit. International shipping is available with tracking - delivery times vary by location. For large orders or urgent projects, please contact us to discuss expedited options.
Yes! We highly recommend ordering samples before making larger purchases. Samples help you assess color, texture, thickness, and quality. Sample orders include multiple pieces so you can compare different leather types. This is especially important for color matching or when you're unsure which leather type suits your project. Samples are available for most of our leather collection.
Leather is sold by the square foot. Hides vary in size naturally - a typical cowhide ranges from 40-60 square feet. We provide exact measurements for each piece. Pricing depends on leather type, grade, tanning process, and origin. Italian leather commands premium pricing due to superior craftsmanship. We offer both full hides and smaller cut pieces to accommodate different project sizes and budgets.
Natural leather may show healed scratches, insect bites, brand marks, or grain variations - these are signs of authentic, quality leather, not defects. We grade our leather (A, B, C) based on the amount of natural markings. Grade A has minimal markings, while Grade C offers excellent value with more character marks that can often be worked around in smaller projects. We'll note any significant markings in product descriptions.
Vegetable-tanned leather uses natural tannins from tree bark and plants - it's eco-friendly, develops beautiful patina over time, and is perfect for tooling and carving. It starts firmer and becomes more supple with use. Chrome-tanned leather uses chromium salts for faster processing, resulting in softer, more water-resistant leather that's ready to use immediately. Chrome-tanned is better for items requiring flexibility, while veg-tan is ideal for structured pieces and traditional leatherwork.
Yes, we accept returns within 30 days of delivery if you're unsatisfied. Leather must be unused and in original condition. We recommend ordering samples first to ensure satisfaction. Returns are refunded to the original payment method minus return shipping costs. For custom-cut pieces or special orders, please contact us to discuss return options. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with your leather purchase.
Yes, we provide volume discounts for larger orders. Discounts typically apply to orders over certain square footage amounts or multiple hides. This is perfect for professional leatherworkers, small businesses, or large projects. Contact us with your requirements for personalized pricing. We work with individual crafters, schools, and commercial manufacturers. No minimum order requirements for regular pricing.
