Overview
Vegetable-tanned leather at Montana Leather Company
Montana Leather Company's veg-tan collection covers tooling, skirting, belt and strap leather, natural and colored articles, and options from multiple animals and tanneries. The collection spans leather for several kinds of work rather than a single tooling or strap line.[1]
The company is in Billings, Montana. Its public catalog supports regular online orders, while qualifying businesses can apply separately for wholesale access. Individual makers do not need to use the wholesale route.[1][3]

The collection includes scraps, precut pieces and panels, belt blanks, straps, shoulders, skirting, and full sides. Among the public listings are 12-by-24-inch and 24-by-24-inch veg-tan pieces, along with larger tooling and skirting leather. That leaves room to start with a manageable cut before buying a full side.[1]
The online collection shows prices and selectable variants, so products can be ordered directly. Tannery, grade, color, weight, dimensions, and stock vary from one listing to the next. Check the live page instead of assuming every format is available throughout the collection.[1]
The FAQ says you can request samples by phone or email. With a catalog this broad, it makes sense to narrow the choices first and ask which samples are available. The site does not promise a standard sample program for every leather.[3]
Service details
Samples, custom pieces and strap cutting supplement the public catalog.
Montana Leather Company says most leathers are available as cut pieces through its product pages, and custom pieces can be requested in the checkout notes. If a pattern depends on exact dimensions or orientation, confirm that the request is workable before placing the order.[3]
The FAQ also lists strap cutting for a fee per side. It is a separate service, not something included with every side. Confirm the current fee, strap widths, expected yield, and any effect on returns before ordering.[3]
Businesses can create an online account and apply for wholesale pricing. Wholesale access is optional; the public collection remains available for ordinary retail ordering.[1][3]
Order planning
Shipping and returns.
United States orders
Shipping is calculated from the cart and region. Qualifying online merchandise orders over $150 ship free within the contiguous US, though some products are excluded. Check the cart to see whether the order qualifies and what the live shipping charge shows.[2]
International orders
The website accepts international orders, but the shipping policy warns that its calculated rates may be inaccurate. Ask for a custom estimate when the exact cost matters, and account for duties and taxes at the destination.[2]
The supplier ships with USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL and says orders generally take one to two business days to process. Order volume and other delays can change that timing. Use it as an estimate, and check the final shipping total for the actual cart.[2]
