Outfitters Supply

Overview

Vegetable-tanned leather at Outfitters Supply

Outfitters Supply publishes a Columbia Falls, Montana address and describes a Montana leather shop that uses US-tanned hides for its own tack and packing equipment. Its leather retail collection is small: the current page displays six products, primarily heavy harness or bridle straps, saddle strings, and one Old World harness-leather side.[1][9]

A broader repair-category introduction says the company sells US-tanned Hermann Oak and Wickett & Craig leather and names whole sides, scrap bags, and individual straps. However, no scrap product appears in the current six-product leather collection, so scrap should be treated as unverified or inquiry-only until a live product or direct confirmation establishes present availability.[1][2]

Buying formats

The strongest current offer is configured heavy strapping rather than a broad hide catalog.

The current Hermann Oak harness-strap products are publicly orderable in separate 10 oz and 13 oz listings. Each provides listed width, 42- or 84-inch length, and plain or hand-creased finish choices; the supplier says the straps are cut and edged from the hide after the order is received. These selectors define configured product formats and do not establish an open-ended custom strap-cutting service for customer-supplied leather or arbitrary dimensions.[3][4]

The reviewed Wickett & Craig chestnut English bridle strap is a heavy 10-12 oz product with listed width, length, and finish choices. Its page says supply is limited to stock on hand and that the straps are cut after ordering, so current color and variant availability should be checked on the selected product rather than generalized across the collection.[5]

The Old World Harness Leather Side is currently exposed as a quantity-one add-to-cart product and is described as a russet Hermann Oak side of approximately 25 square feet from US-harvested and US-tanned hides. The page mentions leather leveled to either 10 oz or 13 oz but does not expose a visible thickness selector in the reviewed ordering flow, so the supplied thickness should be confirmed before purchase.[6]

Service details

Public ordering is straightforward, but cutting claims remain product-specific.

Current Hermann Oak strap and harness-side pages expose public quantity controls, add-to-cart ordering, and pickup at the Columbia Falls address. The reviewed Chestnut English bridle strap supports public add-to-cart ordering but does not display pickup. No wholesale enrollment or company-wide minimum is required by the reviewed flow; representative leather products can be ordered one at a time, although no explicit sitewide minimum-order policy was located.[3][4][5][6]

Outfitters Supply cuts its listed strap products after the order and offers only the widths, lengths, and finishes shown on those pages. The reviewed official sources do not publish a general customer-requested thickness-splitting, skiving, arbitrary cut-to-size, or customer-material cutting program. Likewise, ready-made saddle strings, straps, and a stocked side are buying formats rather than preparation services.[1][3][4][5]

Order planning

Shipping and returns.

Direct United States shipping is documented, with manual handling outside the continental states

The shipping policy says continental-US orders normally use FedEx, USPS, UPS, or freight and that the company makes every effort to ship within 24 hours. Alaska and Hawaii orders require a quote or later shipping-charge approval because the website cannot calculate those charges correctly; expedited parcel service is not available to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses.[7]

Broad international ordering supports an INTL filter, but the European Union is excluded

The current policy says Outfitters Supply can ship nearly anywhere in the world through a direct quote-and-approval process, which supports a broad international filter. It also explicitly says orders to European Union addresses will be cancelled, and international buyers remain responsible for customs, duties, delivery charges, and return freight; destination eligibility and final cost must therefore be confirmed before ordering.[7]

The general policy provides a 30-day return path for products in new condition with original packaging, but used products and custom orders such as cut-to-size straps, webbing, and rope are nonrefundable. Customers pay return shipping and original shipping charges are not refunded. The reviewed strap pages independently label their cut-after-order products nonreturnable, while the side page says returns are not accepted once the leather has been cut; buyers should confirm eligibility before ordering or altering a side.[3][4][5][6][8]

All orders ship FOB Columbia Falls, Montana, or FOB origin for qualifying manufacturer-direct special orders. The policy says ownership transfers when goods leave the origin and assigns international damage, loss, theft, customs, duty, delivery, and returned-package costs to the customer, so shipment protection and claim handling should be clarified for a high-value side or cross-border order.[7]

Decision guide

When this supplier may be worth comparing.

Potentially useful if you need

  • Buying heavy Hermann Oak harness straps in listed widths, two standard lengths, and plain or hand-creased finishes.
  • Buying heavy Wickett & Craig English bridle straps for tack, belts, collars, harness parts, or related projects.
  • Ordering one currently listed Hermann Oak russet harness side without a wholesale account.
  • Using public online ordering with Columbia Falls pickup on eligible products.
  • Arranging direct shipping to United States destinations or a quoted non-EU international destination.

Confirm before ordering

  • The selected strap's current width, length, finish, color, stock, and cut-after-order return status.
  • The whole side's current stock, actual area, supplied thickness, markings, usable yield, and return eligibility before cutting.
  • Whether leather scrap bags are presently available because the repair overview names them but the current leather collection exposes no scrap product.
  • Any non-listed strap dimension, thickness splitting, skiving, arbitrary cutting, or customer-material work because no general preparation service was verified.
  • The carrier, charge, dispatch timing, shipment protection, and destination-specific restriction for the selected order.
  • International eligibility and landed cost, especially because European Union delivery is explicitly unavailable and all shipments are FOB.
