Overview
Vegetable-tanned leather at Maverick Leather Company
Maverick Leather Company’s vegetable-tanned catalog includes tooling leather, saddle skirting, and larger hide cuts. Listings include inventory attributed to Horween, Hermann Oak, Wickett & Craig, and S.B. Foot.[1][3]
Seconds, overstock, and changing or miscellaneous lots are a central part of Maverick’s inventory, rather than uniform first-quality stock. Its Horween seconds, for example, may have color defects, holes, scars, loose break, drawn grain, swatch cuts, or other defects found during sorting.[3]

Maverick’s hide-cut guide covers whole hides, sides, backs, double shoulders, double butts, bends, and bellies. Evaluate each listing by its lot, grade, measurements, thickness range, and defect notes. One listing should not be treated as a repeatable standard product.[2]
Service details
Basic strap cutting is available.
For Basic Strap Cutting, Maverick instructs buyers to add the service to the order and put the requested widths and directions in Order Notes at checkout. Confirm the current price and that your request fits the service before buying. No general customer thickness-splitting or sample program was verified, so listing terms such as split, mis-split, or tannery sample do not establish that those services are available.[4]
Order planning
Shipping and returns.
United States orders
Maverick publishes delivery options for the lower 48 states, plus PO boxes and APO or FPO addresses through qualifying carriers. It also arranges freight for oversized orders and offers local pickup in Bend, Oregon. Processing time may change with order volume and weather.[5]
International orders
Orders going international, to Alaska or Hawaii, or to qualifying islands receive a separate shipping invoice after processing. The product price alone may not tell you the carrier or final shipping cost.[5]
Maverick publishes an outer return window of 180 days, though the refund treatment changes as more time passes. Approved leather must be unused and uncut. Custom-cut, discounted, and marked final-sale items are excluded, and every return needs authorization.[6]
