Our Cowhide Leather Selections

We carry a large in-stock selection for your leather-based business or hobby. Our cowhide leather hides are all available in full sides or pieces, so you get exactly the amount you need for your project. Choose from various:

• Thicknesses: Many of our products come in different gauges, so you can find the ideal weight for your project.
• Colors: Keep it timeless and classic with cognac-colored calfskin leather hides, or make a bold statement with bright turquoise or ginger hues.
• Finishes and textures: We offer a broad choice of finishes and textures, from full-grain cowhide leather to pebble-grain, smooth and embossed options.

Benefits of Cowhide Leather

Cowhide leather has long been a premium choice for both professional artisans and hobby crafters. Distinct advantages of the material include:

• Strength: When you choose cowhide leather, you’re opting for a material with more tensile strength than deer or elk. That trait also means long-lasting quality for finished projects.
• Comfort: As a natural material, cowhide leather is breathable and flexible, making it comfortable to wear.
• Visual appeal: Cowhide leather often shows natural markings that lend an air of authenticity and ruggedness to goods. The material also ages into a gorgeous, unique patina with high aesthetic appeal.
• Durability: As one of the sturdiest and most reliable types of leather, you can count on its incredible performance and long life spans.

Crafting Applications and Inspiration

Your imagination is the only limit on how to use our cowhide leather! With the large variety of options available, it’s the perfect material for homemade leather crafts like saddles, belts, straps, chaps and more! Some ways our customers use our cowhide include:

• Creating one-of-a-kind leather boots with our floral-embossed options.
• Carving and stamping stylish wearable goods.
• Making personalized gifts like leather-bound journals or handbags for friends and loved ones.
• Crafting decorative, unique furnishings and accent pieces.

Care Tips for Maintenance

Storing, cleaning and caring for cowhide leather goods properly helps ensure your projects last and look their best:

1. Prevent overexposure to sunlight, heat and moisture when possible. Treating your leather goods with water repellants or waterproof sprays will keep the occasional splash of rain from damaging them.
2. Use soft cloths or brushes and mild soap or leather-specific cleansers to clean your goods. Apply a conditioner regularly to ensure suppleness and safeguard against the material drying out.
3. Store unused cowhides and finished goods in a dry, cool and well-ventilated space. A breathable covering or storage bag can help protect the material from collecting dust — steer clear of plastic bags where excess moisture could accumulate.
