Even though we call this holster leather, this leather is good for so much more. Any project where you need a leather that forms and molds easily and retains the shape you create can benefit from the selection of this quality leather. From knife sheaths to artistic masks, molded projects are taken to the next level with this leather and your craftsmanship.
Veg tanned the old-fashioned way using a tightly controlled process that utilizes tree bark and other natural tannins, this leather won’t corrode metal, making it perfect for creating holsters and knife sheaths. On average, veg tanned hides undergo a one to three-month process that results in exceptional beauty and workability.
We’re so confident in the leather we sell that we offer free returns on leather, excluding leather panels, pieces and belt blanks. If the leather we ship you isn’t exactly what you hoped for, we will cover the return shipping cost — no matter what the reason is. It’s our goal to provide you with the highest quality leather that will make the perfect canvas for your project.

"I normally use the basic veg tanned shoulders for my sheaths but decided to see if Herman Oak was really worth it. I am happy to say it is! Tools great, finishes beautifully with a little oil, and keeps its depth even when it’s bent."
"I've bought a lot of leather. I've been a knife maker since 1982 and I make my own sheaths. I have always been told to buy 8oz to 9oz veg-tan double shoulder, that this would be the best for knife sheaths. Usually I buy from Tandy Leather so that I can visit the store and pick through the leather. This last order, I decided to try Weaver Leather. After looking through your website, I got the impression that Herman Oak veg-tan was a superior leather. So I decided to call your customer service before ordering. The lady that answered didn't seem to know any more than I did, but agreed that the Herman Oak would be a better quality leather. After receiving the leather, I was disappointed! Probably one of the worst pieces of leather I've bought in years. The lady had led me to believe that the back would be nicely finished. However, I did not find it to be any better than the leather I normally buy. It had lots of stretch marks and blemishes that I would have to cut around. If I had been looking at leather in Tandy Leather, I would have passed on this one. I have thrown the box away, otherwise I would be returning the leather."
"Exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful Leather!"
"Love it! Makes all my project look great!"
"Herman oak and Chahin are the best and worth the extra money"
"This was my first purchase of Herman Oak and maybe I was expecting too much but I thought the hide looked like a utility type grade and I returned it. Weaver was great about it and we decided to exchange it and give it another shot."
"Excellent piece. After buying leather at different places I always come back to Weaver. Always great pieces"
"Just what you expect from Hermann Oak; high yield, clean back and excellent, firm temper. Best HO hide I've gotten in a while after trying some other vendors; sticking with Weaver in the future."
"Hassle free ordering and delivery. Quality leather. I'm very happy w"
"It tools beautifully. Me not so much yet 😉. Working on it though. Takes dye evenly and is a pleasure to work with. I’ll make some holsters for my own handguns first and go from there."
