What saddle makers say

Been making saddles 22 years. This leather tools as clean as anything out there — every cut holds crisp. Showed up in two days from Texas which honestly surprised me.

Ordered three times now and every hide has been exactly what was described. Manuel picked up the phone when I had a question about thickness — not something you get from most suppliers.

Got 4 sides for a ranch saddle build. All came graded just like the site said, no surprises. Ordered on a Tuesday mornin and they were here Thursday — can't ask for much more than that.

Frequently asked questions
1st grade hides are the cleanest cuts with minimal natural markings — ideal for tooled show saddles or presentation pieces. 2nd grade hides have more natural character (brands, scars) but the same structural strength, making them perfect for working saddles at a better value.
For saddle skirts we recommend 13–14oz (Extra Heavy) or 14oz+ skirting leather. The extra weight gives your skirts the rigidity and longevity that working saddles demand. For lighter applications like saddlebags or tooled accessories, 9–10oz is a great choice.
