Our online store offers primarily sides of leather. In some specific types of leather, there is the option to purchase by the side, back, or bend. If you you are looking for a different cut than what is shown online, give us a call! We’d be happy to give you a quote. See more about cuts here.
The size of the side varies from piece to piece since the size of steers vary. Typically a jumbo heavy native steer side is about 23-25 square feet. Economy sides are typically a little smaller and range from 21-23 square feet. Read more about sizes of cuts here.
TR stands for tannery run grade. We have four grades: #1, #2, #3 and TR. TR is primary grade that we currently offer online. TR sides are economical and suitable for most projects. If you have a specific need for grade numbers 1, 2 or 3 please give us a call. We usually keep a range of grades in stock. Find out more about grading here.
