The calculator gets confused with multiple items in the cart (we’re working on this). We REFUND shipping overages on any order that we can get cheaper shipping for.

We get all of our hides from a furriery that has been in business for many years and we have bought from them for many years. As of today, all vendors that we do business with are in good standing and have no violations of unethical treatment of animals nor any state or federal violations.

First, have in mind what project you want to make.

Second, gather some info! Check out our YouTube videos, we may have just the info you are looking for! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAr8vGH85Q6SVmMkVLWQjpQ

You may even want to join a leathercraft facebook group. We have our Dibs group which not only is a great place for advice from others but a venue to purchase one of a kind leathers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TLGDibs/?source_id=149848285034100

This group is also full of helpful experts: https://www.facebook.com/groups/leathercraftersssg/

Have questions that weren't answered on any of these venues? Drop us a a line in Conversations and we will see what we can do to help!

Where Fabric is measured in Yards, Leather is measured in Square Feet. The rough equivalent to a yard in leather would be 18 square feet. This is to account for the natural shape of leather and parts that may not be usable for you project.
We advise that you use the actual measurements you need for your project, instead of yards. For example, you are making a jacket that calls for 2 yards. Break down the actual sizes of the panels you need. If the back panel is 20"x30" and the front panels are 15"x30", you now know you need at least 50"x30" inches of leather. From here you can figure out what sides or hides will be large enough for your project.

The thickness of leather is gauged in ounces (oz). One ounce equals 1/64th of an inch or 0.4 Millimeters. For example, 3 oz would be 3/64" or 1.2mm.

Not sure what thickness of leather you are working with and don't have a gauge? Check out this hack: https://youtu.be/YL9ztiFr5Uo
