Leather is at the very core of everything we do at Weaver Leather and it has become one of my
passions throughout the years. By cultivating close relationships with our tanneries, I have been
able to work with them to develop high quality leathers that offer you performance and value.
In addition to working one-on-one with the tanneries, I credit much of my leather knowledge to
my father, Harry Weaver, who spent most of his adult life working with leather. His experience and
willingness to share his knowledge instilled in me the desire to pass on what I’ve learned from him.
I personally wrote introductions to each type of leather we offer to give you added information on
what makes them unique. The following pages are filled with detailed descriptions highlighting
every leather’s special characteristics and a list of suggested uses. I understand the importance of
selecting the right leather and have worked diligently to ensure the information on these pages is
accurate, helpful and assists you in your buying decisions.
As a leather supplier, Weaver Leather is unique in that we cut, sew and work with many of the leathers
you’ll find in this catalog. The leather shipments we receive from our tanneries generally consist
of 20% A grade, 50% B grade, 20% C grade and 10% utility grade. This is known as a standard TR
or tannery run selection. We use many of the lower grade hides in-house because low grade does Paul and Shep Hermann from Hermann Oak ® Leather Co.
not mean low quality. They have the same quality as higher grades, but because of surface defects
need more attention to cutting to obtain an acceptable yield. With our large variety of manufactured
products and cutting expertise, we are able to utilize these hides effectively in our own shop.
All utility grade leather we either use ourselves or sell at discounted prices to those who can use
this grade most effectively. If you would like to know what utility grade leathers are available, please
ask us for a list with special pricing.
As you look through the following pages of leather, be assured that you are benefitting from 80+
years of combined knowledge from all our leather experts. From working with the tanneries to
leather cutting, manufacturing, picking and shipping leather to our customers, we have experts
in every area so you can be assured we can answer your questions. That is something that no
other supplier can give you.
Following are a few more reasons you can trust Weaver Leather:
1) We only deal with the best tanneries that stand behind their products like we do. This gives
you peace of mind and security in knowing you’re taken care of if you ever have a problem.
2) We grade it right and sell a true tannery run grade. Utility grades are used in our own facility or
sold at lower prices.
3) We inventory all the leather we show in this catalog and ship most orders within 24 hours.
4) We allow you to mix and match your leather quantities so you don’t need to buy large
quantities to get great prices.

5) If you need your leather cut, we offer a cutting service. If you need it edged or painted, we
offer these services too. We make your leather buying experience as easy as you want it to be.
6) Based on my 30 years of experience, the descriptions and leather quality you see on these pages are accurate. You have my word on it.
