Leather Yardage Calculator

Leather yardage calculator

Use 18 sq. ft. of leather as a planning estimate for each linear yard of 54-inch-wide fabric. This industry conversion includes an allowance for the natural shape of hides and cutting variation.

Estimated leather needed: fabric yards × 18 = leather square footage.

This is a starting estimate. Pattern size, hide quality, matching requirements, and usable cutting area can increase the amount required. Contact us if you would like help estimating a specific project.

We supply the same hides used by major fashion, footwear, and handbag brands — available to designers, craftspeople, and makers of all scales, without the wholesale minimums. Whether you're building a collection, upholstering a room, or cutting your first piece — this is where the work starts.
