3 Ways To Work With Us
We believe brilliant craftsmanship starts by knowing your materials. Our leather experts make sure you know everything you need to select the leather that will make your design thrive for generations.
Visit Our Chicago Showroom
Just a couple miles from the Horween tannery, the showroom is where you can see, touch (and yes smell) all the leathers we have in stock. In addition to leather hides, we sell finished leather goods, leather glue, and leather care products.
We are open for walk-in’s Monday-Friday from 10 AM - 6 PM, but if you’d like to collaborate with a specific leather consultant, let us know you’re stopping by!
Shop Online
Our online store features all of our regularly stocked items. If it’s on the site, you can assume it’s available.
Work With A Leather Consultant Remotely (or in-person)
Working with a leather consultant can be helpful if you’re not sure what type of leather you want, looking to buy 100 square feet or more, or just prefer one-on-one collaboration. Our staff will review the various leather options with you and help you narrow down the perfect leather for your project.
Commonly Asked Questions About Our Process & Working With Us
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order is one piece.
Do you offer panels or cuttings?
No. We do not cut the leather into smaller pieces. We recommend you check with The Buckle Guy for these services.
Do I need to make a wholesale account?
No. The Tannery Row sells leather to anyone regardless of the quantity purchased. You do not need to be an established business to work with a leather consultant or to purchase our leather.
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
We have price breaks based on volume that apply to anyone. The base pricing is based on 20 square feet. After that we have price breaks at the following quantities:
100 square feet
500 square feet
1,000 square feet
Please note that the price break refers to a single article, single color, single weight
Should I work with Horween directly or The Tannery Row?
If you’re looking to order leather in the thousands of square feet at a time, then you should work directly with Horween.
Is Tannery Row pricing the same as Horween pricing?
Yes. Our prices are the same as working direct with Horween.
Is Tannery Row the same company as Horween?
No, but you can think of us as sister companies. The Tannery Row was started by John Culliton, who has worked at Horween for 30+ years. Today, John oversees production and sales at Horween. The Tannery Row operated out of the Horween shipping room for the first 9 years before moving to a separate space in 2020.
What is the difference between ordering online versus ordering through a sales consultant?
Leather is typically purchased by the price per square foot and each piece of leather will vary in size. Due to this, online prices are based on historical averages of the leather.
When you order through a consultant, we enter what we refer to as a “manual order”. Manual orders are calculated by the price per square foot. Therefore, the invoice is sent after the leather has been packed for shipping and not in advance.
What is the turnaround time for my order?
While we do our very best to get customers leather as quickly as possible, the timing is considered a guideline only. Orders can take longer for a variety of reasons. If the order will take longer than the guidelines below, The Tannery Row will contact the customer and update them accordingly.
