Overview

Buckleguy carries vegetable-tanned leather from named US and international tanneries. You can browse by tannery, leather type, or cut, then choose among hides, sides, backs, bends, shoulders, bellies, panels, straps, scrap, kits, and swatches.[1][2]

The official collections name tanneries including Wickett & Craig, Hermann Oak, Walpier, La Perla Azzurra, La Bretagna, Valdibrana, and Sedgwick. Available colors, thicknesses, and formats differ by tannery and product.[1]

The leather-by-cut catalog lets you compare swatches, panels, straps, shoulders, sides, and other formats. Not every tannage comes in every cut, so use the individual product page to confirm weight, size, grade, and stock.[2]

Service details

Retail strap cutting applies to a selected side.

Buckleguy’s retail strap-cutting service takes one leather side from the order, cuts it to the requested widths, and sends back both the straps and the scrap. If you order more than one side, you must identify the one to cut. The service does not guarantee an exact thickness within the leather’s published weight range, and the strap-cutting service itself is nonreturnable.[3][5]

Order planning

Shipping and returns.

United States orders

Domestic carrier and service options depend on the order size and destination. Oversized leather, including hides, sides, and shoulders, may be excluded from free-shipping offers.[4]

International orders

International shipping options depend on the destination and package dimensions. The recipient is responsible for duties, taxes, brokerage charges, and local import requirements.[4]

Buckleguy generally accepts returns within 30 days if the products are still new and resalable. Original shipping is not refunded, and the company does not process direct exchanges. The strap-cutting service, scrap boxes, and low-grade panels are among the exclusions.[5]
