LEATHER

HIDES AND SIDES
This is where we sell our large cow sides, full hides, and other leathers.
We have a separate page for lightweight leathers (less than 3 oz or under 1/16" or 1.5 mm  thick)
We also have a separate web page for our suede hides.  You can get to these using the menu below.
Because we sell excess leathers from manufacturers of leather goods we never know what to expect from week to week.
Check back often; it might even be worth book marking this site or going completely overboard and signing up for our leather crafts newsletter (below).
You might also want to check out our listing of Clearance Leathers; these are one-of-a-kind hides that we're clearing out of the barn.
If you'd like to be notified when we add new hides and sides to our leather inventory then just sign up for our free e-mail newsletter- won't hurt a bit.

Dark Brown Chainsaw Sides

Our Chainsaw sides were very popular last month - a good, heavy duty leather.  Last time we had Chainsaw around here it was a medium brown color -
these are 5.5 to 6 oz, dark brown, cowhide sides, averaging 20 to 22.75 square feet each.  Some are larger, running 23-26 sq ft.  Choose your size.
This is chrome tanned cowhide, drum dyed, smooth surface, regular temper (not too soft, not too stiff).  Excellent leather, made in the USA.
Dark Brown Chainsaw Sides  $75 each, 48 state shipping included 
Large Dark Brown Chainsaw Sides  $80 each, 48 state shipping included 

YELLER LIZARD SIDES

No, these are not from giant yellow lizards that live over by the power plant.
Vegetable tanned cowhide sides run about 20 sq ft on average and are 3 to 3.5 oz,
less than 1/16" thick, and can be stitched on most home sewing machines.
The leather is vegetable tanned and then imprinted with the lizard skin pattern you see in the pictures.
Yellow color is a surface finish put on by a roller coater at the tannery.
No glossy topcoats or other goop on top of the yellow, so it's a nice, matte look.
Not too soft, not too firm.  Good leather for making book covers, among other things.
Yeller Lizard Sides  $50 each, 48 state shipping included 
Or get 10 Yeller Lizard Sides for $400 ($40 each), 48 state shipping included

Same as Above, but in a Socially Acceptable Color

or, Get Ten Brown Lizard Sides for $400 

Chocolate Basket Weave Sides

Nice chocolate brown cowhide sides, about 22 square feet in surface area on average, with a full finish, corrected grain, and a basket weave pattern imposed on the surface.
Great for upholstery use, book covers, and even some garments, although these are a little firm for wearing.  Don't make underwear out of this leather, and we mean it.
Not that Charlie tried it or anything like that, nor did he spend almost an hour screaming in the Fabulous New Warehouse last week after he put them on.
No way.  These are 3 to 3.5 oz, less than 1/16" thick, and can be stitched on most home sewing machines.
Chocolate Basket Weave Sides  $60 each, 48 state shipping included.


SOLE BENDS
Incredibly Stiff Leather, Tanned for Making Leather Floor Tiles!

If you're a leather crafter, when you see cows standing in a field you don't just see gentle animals contemplating their place in the scheme of things; you see future craft projects,
and as you size up their skins, you should know that the 'bend' is a portion of the hide that runs on either side of the backbone, a little aft of amidships.
Bends are comprised of leather fibers that are able to be densely packed when subjected to pressure. Look at your fancy loafers, the ones you bought on sale but they have that
expensive name brand on them so you're constantly crossing your legs in public places so that the folks nearby might get a glance at the label on the bottom of those leather soles -
you know what I mean.  Those leather soles are made from the bend.  What we've got right here are bends that have been compressed to make them incredibly hard -
they were meant to be cut into floor tiles, believe it or not, but work well for any purpose that requires a very firm leather.  How firm?  About like a sheet of quarter inch plywood.
Desk tops/writing surfaces, shoe soles, etc.  Available in the colors shown, all about 8/9 oz in thickness (about 1/8"), and averaging about 9 square feet of surface area
(roughly 2 feet and a couple of inches wide by 4 feet plus a few inches long).  This is expensive stuff,  but we have it priced to move.
The prices shown include shipping to any location in the 48 contiguous United States, with no extra charge for the work we put into trying to roll one of these things and fit it into a 12" square long box.
Sometimes the bends win, sometimes we win.  Jenny keeps score.

Printed Suede Hides

Printed Cowhide Suede Hides
Nice, soft suede hides with a pattern painted on the surface that the tannery called 'Navajo' but the J is pronounced like an H so make sure you
say that right in your head, Joseph.  I mean Hoseph.  No, no I don't.  Oops.
Printed on your choice of either dark brown suede or off-white suede.
Hides average about 15 sq ft each and are 3 oz in thickness, very soft.

4 Oz Veg Tan Tooling Sides


These are cowhide sides, tanned in bark/vegetable extracts, specifically made for tooling, stamping, burning (like with a woodburner), and wet-forming.
Sides are larger than  20 square feet each and are 1/16" thick (4 oz leather).
These aren't A grade, hardly even B Grade - these are C and D grade  sides so expect some scratches or holes as shown in the photos.
Priced per side  - with free shipping to any location in the 48 contiguous United States.

PRAIRIE MUD SIDES


Remember when you crossed the country in your prairie schooner?  Man oh man, it was such a nice way to travel.  Just laying up there on top of the boxes and crates, watching the
prairie grasses sway with the breeze.  An Antelope every so often.  Leisure travel, baby, this is it.  Then there was that day when the grasses started swaying a little more than usual, and that weird looking cloud formed overhead,
and the next thing you knew that pronghorn came flying through your Conestoga at about Mach III with his eyes closed and right behind him was half of the Sioux nation, and Auntie Em.  Tornado!
You rode it out about a mile in the air, and when you came down to earth again you remember thinking, "Wow, look at how a little rain turned this prairie dust into a very cool shade of dark reddish brown."
Years later, now a tannery executive, this is your favorite production item.  Prairie Mud.  Sides average 20 to 22.75 square feet of surface area each.  Larger sides run 23 square feet up to 26 sq ft.
 5.5 to 6 oz in thickness, regular temper.  Tumbled a bit at the tannery to give that nice texture on the surface (see the photo with the fabulous pen in it).

GOLD METALLIC FINISH COWHIDE SIDES

Large cowhide sides are very soft, and were vat dyed nice and black.
After that, old Mr. Tannery Guy stood back, took a long look, and then he heaved a bucket of gold finish on them.
'There.' he said.  "Now they'll sell.'  Eureka.
These are nice - suitable for garments or upholstery - would make a heck of a nice space age recliner for Dad.
These Gold Metallic Sides are called Midas and run about 19 sq ft per side, 3-3.5 oz in thickness, and are very soft.
Priced at $70 each, 48-state shipping included.  AK and HI are just a bit more or, we can fold these to fit in a flat rate box for no extra shipping costs.

Denim Printed Cowhide Bends, Navy

 Bends running 4 to 4.5 oz in thickness (about 1/16") and 10 sq ft each, dyed navy, then imprinted with a screen print and washed over with white to yield a pattern that looks, well,
OK it looks weird but it's got a lot of potential and just begs to be made into chair seats, counter tops, or a big tall hat
(just roll it into a tube and staple it together - you're done and you need counseling).  Makes great book covers, among other things.
This leather is a little more firm than it looks - holds shape pretty well.  Hey - nice hat.  Where'd you get that thing?
Denim Bends $35 each, 48 state shipping included 
or get 10 of these for $300, 48 state shipping included 

Pebble Grain Veg Sides

Rustic orangey-brown vegetable tanned cowhide sides, about 15 square feet in surface area on average, with a pebbly surface as shown.
These are 4 oz, or about 1/16" thick, and have a regular temper.
These sides were veg tanned and then finished.  Not for tooling or carving.  This is for making stuff out of.
Pebble Grain Veg Sides  $45 each, 48 state shipping included.

Full Cowhides, Beautiful Upholstery Leather
Several Colors Available

Here's a great addition to the barn here at Brettuns Village Leather - more than one thousand full cowhides of beautiful upholstery leather.
Full hides average about 50 square feet of surface area, roughly 7 feet by 7.5 feet and are very soft.  Thickness is about 3 oz (under 1/16 of an inch)
so these can be sewn on most sewing machines.  Great for covering chairs or couches or pick up trucks or 32 foot sport fishing boats or the barbecue grill or a leaky section of your roof or
your bed (these make great bedspreads just the way they are) or the parrot's cage or just about anything else.  These are full finish hides, meaning a lot of the color is on the surface,
although each hide is dyed all the way through.  The tannery added more finish on the surface to get the final colors right, as these were being used to make expensive furniture,
aircraft interiors, and automobile interiors.  This lot of hides has been consigned to us under our corporate consignment program.
Hides are from well-known high-end tanneries, such as Spinneybeck and some fine Italian tanners.
We've got 30 gaylord containers to sift through, so we expect to be adding more colors to this listing.
These hides are soft enough to be used to make garments, chaps, or any other soft leather goods.
Pricing?  It's simple.  $145 per full hide, delivered to your door (within the 48 states).
If you only need half of one of these scroll down a bit - sides are $65 each.

ZIG-ZAG PATTERN CALF SIDES, TAN COLOR

These calf sides have been vegetable tanned and then imprinted with a zig-zag fabric pattern, finished with a nice tan color, and waterproofed.  Great for upholstery work
and for projects that need some texture showing.  These are about 4 oz in thickness, but have a boney temper, so they're not soft like garment leather.
Each side runs about 16 square feet, some as large as 18 square feet.  Priced at $40 each, which includes shipping by UPS to any location in the 48 contiguous United States.

Very Soft Elk Sides
Genuine Elk, Born Free


These sides come from real live elk - well - you know what we mean.  They were alive at one point.  This leather is chrome tanned, oiled and softened, and tumbled
for a long time to make it very soft.  The color is called Acorn Brown.  Thickness is 3.5 to 4 oz, or just about exactly 1/16 of an inch.
Each side covers about 11-12 square feet of surface area (smaller hides available - see below).  These hides must have been stored for a while - most of them have a fold line in the middle,
where the leather is a little lighter in color than the rest of the hide.  Seems to darken back up to match the rest of the hide once laid flat for a while.
The back of these sides is a beautiful dark brown color with a very nice suede texture.
Priced at $50 each, which includes shipping by UPS to any location in the 48 contiguous United States.

GENUINE HORSE LEATHER STRIPS
Perfect for strops, belts, harnesses

Taken from just north of the butt cheeks (which is where true shell cordovan comes from - see below for shells), these strips of horse hide are 5 to 6 oz in thickness, and each piece measures about 2 to 2.5 square feet of total surface area.
Roughly 4.5 feet long and about as wide as your hand.  Tanned, re-tanned, surface dyed, and oiled to yield an excellent strop leather.  Dark reddish brown color.
This is not a typical straight veg tan soft/hard rolled strip of leather; this is true re-tanned leather, very weather resistant, impregnated with oils to keep it flexible for decades.
Since these come from just about the butt cheeks (cordovan), we call this North of Cordovan.
North of Cordovan strips, $30 each, USA shipping included (even AK and HI)

CHECKERBOARD


Full cowhide sides of vegetable tanned leather, slightly oiled, embossed with a checkerboard pattern.  The leather is firm and runs 6 oz in thickness.
Perfect for making a new bar counter at your vintage diner.
Or, if you can find some really tiny checkers you could make a few hundred checkerboards from one of these sides.
Before you play checkers on this leather though just go ahead and make an appointment with your eye doctor - you'll need it.
Available in Dark Brown/Light Brown, Black/White, Black/Red, and Red/White.  The 1960s are back, baby.  Sides run about 20 square feet of surface area.

MEDITERRANEAN BLUE FULL COWHIDES
UPHOLSTERY OR GARMENT LEATHER

Full cowhides, tanned and finished in Italy; very nice upholstery leather that can also be used for garments.
We're calling the color Mediterranean Blue because it just flat doesn't look like any blue shade we'd see on this side of the pond.
These hides run about 45-50 square feet each and are 2 oz in thickness (1/32 of an inch).
Easy to sew on most home machines, or just use a stapler like Charlie does.
Priced at $100 each, which includes shipping by UPS to any location in the 48 contiguous United States.

Rustic Tan Basket Weave Suede Hides

Cowhide suede double butts average about 16 square feet each and are priced at $40 each, with USA shipping included.
These double butts started out as suede leather, then they were run through a high pressure press to impose this basket weave pattern on them.
Finally, an antique tipping spray was used to give the surface a rustic, tarnished look.  Very, very cool.

Leather weights are given in ounces per square foot

Vegetable Tanned Tooling Bellies

Cowhide bellies are vegetable tanned, about 6 to 8 oz in thickness, and typically firm like most tooling leathers.
They run about 6 feet long, and from 4 to 15 inches wide.  The shape of each belly is highly variable, as you can see in the photo.
Great for making smaller items and you can get a belt or two out of each.  Or, if you're so inclined, have a belt or two while you're working with this leather.
Please tool responsibly.
Tooling Bellies  $40 each, USA shipping included (yes, AK and HI included)

Note:  OK, nothing is really easy around here, but this form is a little easier than pushing a cat into a bucket which we would only do to save the cat's life in the event of a barn fire or meteor strike


Napa Cowhide Garment Soft Cowhide Sides

Very soft Napa sides are US branded cowhides in a light weight, running 3 to 3.5 oz in thickness (under 1/16")
and are very, very soft.  Dyed all the way through, so the edges are the same color as the surface when you lay into it with the old shears.
These have extra finish on the surface, which gives them that upholstery look.
Whether you make something to wear or something to sit on, this is nice leather.
The darker color is Navy Blue; the other is called Amarillo Sunset (sort of medium brown with some orange in it)
Priced per side, contiguous USA shipping included.

PONTIAC GREEN FULL CALF HIDES

Remember the 60s?  Vacations were simple.  Load the cooler, toss some sleeping bags in the back of the station wagon, and crawl all over the seats while Dad drove from your
home to the National Park of his choosing.  You'd play cards while laying down on the floor, look for license plates while sprawled out on top of the suitcases, and stick your arm
out the window to let the wind push your palm up or down.  The entire time you were probably sitting on seats that looked about like this leather.  It looks like it came out of an old Pontiac,
so that's what we called it.  Also, none of us here could figure out the Italian name it was given by the tannery over there that produced the leather,
so Pontiac is as good a name as any.  Full calf hides run about 30 square feet each, 4 oz, mellow temper, good for upholstery use or for garments.
Here's an important fact - this leather sat on a shelf, folded up (not rolled) for a long time, so it has wrinkles in it.
They'll come out after a while, but when you open the box be prepared for wrinkles, like when Aunt Marge shows her knees at the annual beach picnic.  Gag.
Pontiac Green Full Calf Hides $85 each USA shipping included 

PERFORATED SIDES

These are small or medium cowhide sides that are perforated on an evenly spaced pattern to allow the leather to breathe.
The small sides run about 10 square feet of surface area, and are a tan color.
The medium sides run about 15 sq ft and are slightly reddish brown, also perforated.  Hate wearing chaps on those hot, West Texas days over near Marfa?
Had it with your quiver filling up with water during those heavy South Florida downpours when you're in your tree stand out at Holy Lands?
Here's your answer.  Holey Leather.  This stuff breathes. Priced per side, contiguous USA shipping included.
If you live in AK or HI and don't mind us folding the leather we can flat rate this to you (no extra charge, just pay the prices you see below)

Third Quality White Deer Hides

These are full white tail deer hides, from right here in the USA.
Chrome tanned, dyed white (dye penetrates all the way through the leather)
These measure about 7 square feet in surface area per hide and are soft.
We're calling these third quality because, well, they just flat out aren't nice enough to be called second quality.
Yes, they're useful for crafts, but the hides have bullet holes, knife cuts, bad spots, rough areas, defects, abrasions, cuts, bruises, piercings, and bad attitudes.
The leather is 3 oz (a little under 1/16 of an inch)., Very, very soft.
Yes, these are rough but each hide has a lot of useful leather.

Full Finish (glossy) Sides
Two Colors - Fifty Bucks a Pop - Free 48-State Shipping


Full finish sides are very glossy and look like patent leather almost.  Almost.  These are 3 to 3.5 oz, less than 1/16" thick, but very firm temper.  Does not stretch.
Available in green or golden tan as shown.  Sides are reasonably large, averaging 22 square feet each.
Very smooth and very glossy.  Would make a great slip-n-slide out back with the garden hose on that slope by the raspberry bushes.
Always wear a helmet when attempting anything you read about on this site.  A fire-retardant suit would be a good idea too.  Go ahead and dial 911 before you start.

FISH LEATHER!


Thought you'd seen just about everything in the world of leather?  Well, maybe now you have. Fish sides, scales removed, chrome-tanned, dyed all the way through, and softened.
These have a rather rough surface, left natural from when the scales were removed.  A bit shaggy-looking, but that way everyone can tell you're using fish leather.  A very cool thing to work with.
Thickness wise these run about 4 oz or 1/16" thick, and are surprisingly sturdy.  Tanned in North America, carp or salmon.
We guess it's a lot like the cowhide business, except we haven't been able to find any brands on these hides.  Apparently the legendary Carp Roundups will remain just that - a legend.
Choose your color.  These ship free to all USA locations.  Don't worry, we mail them to you, we don't try to get them to swim it.
Fish hides are $15 each.  These average about 4 inches wide and 16 to 18 inches long.  Available colors:
Carp - Red-Orange Hides  $15 each 
Carp - Yellow Fish Hides  SOLD OUT!
Carp - Pink Fish Hides $15 each 
Carp - Purplish-Blue Fish Hides  $15 each  SOLD OUT!
Carp - Black Fish Hides  $15 each 

Prices shown above for all of our fish leathers include shipping costs to any USA location. No need to add one more cent to your purchase.
Sound fishy to you?  Heck, we've been doing business this way upcountry in Maine for 15 years, and we're just gettin' stahhhhted.



Lined or Unlined Pig Hides

These were tanned specifically for covering chair seats.  There's a polyurethane (plastic) layer bonded to the surface,
so these are wear and stain resistant.  Sienna is a brownish yellow.  Walnut is brown (rocket science).  Harvest Gold color looks just like those kitchen appliances you used to own.
in the 1970s.  Relive those great kitchen moments by using these hides to make stuff.  Orange looks like an orange.  Imagine that.  Terra cotta looks like a flower pot.
The three in the left photo (below) have a lining on the back, either leather or fabric, to keep the pigskin from stretching.  Who would want your bacon to stretch?
That sort of reminds this writer of a Boy Scout camping trip many decades ago
where the patrol leader sent said writer hiking down the dirt road about ten miles to find the bacon stretcher that had "somehow fallen out of the truck" on the drive into the campsite.
Bacon stretcher, you ask?  Yeah, right, I get it now too.  I didn't get it back then.  I walked, baby.
Hides run 3 oz in thickness (less than 1/16 of an inch) and about 5 square feet of total surface area (about 2 ft by 2.5 ft).

Leather Sample Swatches


These are sample panels that a tannery salesman used to show to potential customers.  The stacks of each size include
many different colors, textures, and thicknesses.  There are some shimmery metallics, some pastels, and a lot of earth tones.
Many of these swatches are imprinted with the tannery's color and leather variety name.  These range between 3 and 6 oz in thickness,
We have 5 different sizes available.  With any purchase we'll pull a random swatch from the stack, or, if you'd like to give us some color guidelines we'll do our best, subject to availability.
Great for fiddling around with - experimenting with leather for various projects, or making small crafts.  No two swatches are alike - they're all different.
