Four leathers for small goods
Our best-selling sheets
Pull-Up & Distressed
Semi veg-tanned, top-grain leather with a waxy finish. The pull-up shows lighter undertones where it bends and builds a patina with use. A medium hand: firm enough to hold its shape, soft enough to work easily.
1.1–1.3 mm (3 oz) · semi veg tanned · wax/oil finishFrom $10.99 a sheet · Tan, Whiskey, Bourbon, Olive, Terracotta and moreShop pull-up sheets →
Crazy Horse
Heavier, with a firm temper that stands on its own and doesn't soften much with use. Waxes and oils give it a strong pull-up. The back is smooth and clean, so it can be used without lining.
1.8–2.0 mm (4–5 oz) · combination tanned · wax/oil finish$14.99 for 8.5" × 11" · $29.99 for 12" × 24" · Black, Whiskey, Luggage, Mocha, TanShop Crazy Horse sheets →

Bulk pricingCustom die cutsQuestions
Before you order
Which leather should I use for a wallet?
Any of these will work. Natural grain is soft, pull-up has a medium hand, and Crazy Horse and veg tan are firm. A firmer leather holds its shape on its own; a softer one folds and drapes more easily.
How much leather do I need?
Most wallets take about 1–2 sq ft, which is one or two 12" × 12" sheets. An 8.5" × 11" sheet is about 0.65 sq ft, enough for a card holder or key fob.
Pre-cut sheets or a side?
For a few pieces, pre-cut sheets. If you're making wallets in quantity or for stock, buy a side or a whole hide. A black natural grain full side is about 20 sq ft for $134.99; past about ten 8.5" × 11" sheets, the side costs less.
Can I tool or dye veg tan?
Yes. It comes raw and undyed with a firm temper, ready for carving, stamping, wet molding, dyeing and burnishing.
Do you supply brands and production runs?
Yes. Bulk pricing on qualifying orders, net terms for approved trade accounts, and custom die cuts for repeat shapes.
What about earrings and jewelry?
Jewelry makers mostly buy our leather scraps by the pound (assorted, brown or black) and metallic pre-cut sheets. Natural grain pre-cut sheets work too. All come in small amounts, so you can try several colors.
