Tannery-direct retailer and importer · Greenville, Texas, United States
The Skirting Factory
Overview
Vegetable-tanned leather at The Skirting Factory
The Skirting Factory's heavy-leather range covers natural and colored skirting, latigo, harness, strap and finished leather, double shoulders, double butts, double culattas, sole bends, sides without bellies, and precut latigo strips. Prices and variants are public, so saddle, tack, belt, and other leatherworkers can compare both tannage and cut before ordering.[1][2]
The leather is made at Curtidos Reconquista in Reconquista, Santa Fe, Argentina, from hides selected in southern Argentina. The Skirting Factory imports that inventory, then fills customer orders from its warehouse in Greenville, Texas.[1][3][4]

Natural Skirting Leather comes in sides of about 21 square feet. Listed weights are light 12.5–13 ounce, regular 13–14 ounce, and extra-heavy 14 ounces and up, with first- and second-quality choices on some variants. Options can sell out, so treat the weight and grade selector as a view of current inventory, not a permanent range.[3]
The Double Shoulder is a smaller option at about 6–9 square feet and 7–8 ounces. Colors include tan, red brown, dark brown, black, and natural. The listing describes first quality as cleaner and more uniform, with few natural marks. Second quality may have scars, wrinkles, or color variation, but the supplier describes it as equally durable.[5]
Representative hide listings can be ordered one at a time. The storefront applies automatic discounts at two, three, and five units of the same product, and you can mix options within that product. Different products do not combine for the discount. The reviewed pages do not show a sitewide minimum, though pack products such as the limited-lot latigo strips keep their listed pack quantity.[1][2][3]
Service details
Maker consultation and pickup are customer services; splitting belongs to tannery production.
You can order through the public storefront or contact Manuel before buying to ask about current inventory, grade, thickness, and technical details. That help is for selecting and ordering leather. It does not mean every hide can be altered to your specifications.[1][3]
The process page shows hair removal, splitting, pit tanning, stretching, drying, selection, and distribution at Curtidos Reconquista. Those are tannery production steps, not documented retail services. The reviewed pages do not verify customer-facing splitting, skiving, strap cutting, or cut-to-size preparation.[4]
You can place an order for next-day pickup at the Greenville warehouse during its published weekday hours. Confirm that the order is ready and check the current hours before making the trip.[6]
Order planning
Shipping and returns.
United States fulfillment
The supplier says orders leave Greenville, Texas on the next business day, Monday through Friday, and tracking is emailed after dispatch. Most US orders are said to arrive one to three business days after shipment. These are general timelines, not a guaranteed delivery date for every destination.[1]
The reviewed pages give US delivery timing but do not establish international checkout, destination coverage, carrier choices, or a sitewide free-shipping threshold. Check the live shipping charge for your actual cart, and confirm any unsupported destination directly before ordering.[1][3][5]
The site says to contact Manuel if a hide is not what you expected and that he will work out a solution. The reviewed pages do not publish a formal return window, condition standard, authorization process, or responsibility for return shipping. There are not enough published terms here to give return instructions or assume a particular order can be returned.[1][3][5]

- Comparing Argentine vegetable-tanned skirting, latigo, harness, strap, shoulder, butt, culatta, and sole leather in one catalog.

- Usable yield from Argentine sides and naturally shaped sections, especially when comparing them with larger American hides.
- Any product-specific pack quantity and the exact combinations that qualify for quantity discounts.
- Whether a requested preparation service is available, because tannery splitting is not a verified retail splitting service.
