Overview
Vegetable-tanned leather at Leather4Craft
Leather4Craft is a retailer in Newhaven, England. Its vegetable-tanned collection includes calf and goatskin as well as named tannages such as Walpier Buttero and Badalassi Carlo Pueblo. Across the current catalog, you will find natural, dyed, smooth, milled, waxed, and textured options.[1]
Individual makers do not have to start with a complete hide. The catalog covers small A-size panels, straps, shoulders, sides, and hide-size options. Colors, thicknesses, and cut formats vary by leather and current stock.[1][2]

The samples collection sells swatches for several vegetable-tanned articles and thicknesses. A sample can help you choose a tannage, color, surface, or thickness before buying a larger piece. It cannot tell you how much usable area or natural variation you will get in a later panel or hide.[3]
Representative Buttero listings come in A5, A4, A3, and A2 panels. The broader collection also includes half shoulders, shoulders, sides, straps, and links to larger hide formats. Check the individual product page to see whether a tannage is sold only by the panel or also as a larger cut.[1][2]
Service details
Thickness splitting is useful but has clear limits.
Leather4Craft offers paid thickness splitting. One current product page says leather up to A3 size can be reduced from 5 mm to 1 mm thick, and the dedicated service page gives the accepted dimensions and ordering process. Before ordering, confirm that your piece, starting thickness, target thickness, and dimensions all fit the service.[2][4]
The service page says Leather4Craft can also accept customer-supplied leather. You must arrange return postage, and the customer carries the risk of splitting. Treat it as irreversible custom work, not a guaranteed way to make any hide fit a project.[4]
Order planning
Shipping and returns.
United States orders
Leather4Craft says it serves most countries worldwide. Shipping to the United States is calculated at checkout, so review the current total before placing the order.[5]
United Kingdom and other destinations
The shipping policy covers domestic and international delivery. Confirm destination eligibility and the available delivery method for your actual basket at checkout.[5]
The general return terms exclude made-to-order or specifically cut items. If you add splitting or order a cut prepared to specification, confirm return eligibility before buying instead of assuming the standard terms apply.[4][5]
