Products & Materials

What our goods are made from

Are your products made from real leather?

Yes. Our leather goods are made from 100% genuine leather and handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional leatherworking techniques. Our canvas range (gun cases, cartridge bags and watch rolls) pairs heavy-duty canvas with genuine leather details.

What kinds of products do you make?

Our workshop makes a wide range of leather goods, including:

  • Leather aprons for chefs, barbers, woodworkers, welders, farriers and more
  • Leather and canvas golf bags
  • Hunting & shooting gear: rifle and shotgun scabbards, cartridge bags and belts
  • Knife rolls, watch rolls, valet trays and toiletry bags
  • Leather bags, garments and accessories
  • Replica championship belts
My item has small marks or colour variations. Is it faulty?

No. Genuine leather is a natural material, so every hide carries its own grain, small marks and tonal variation. These features make each piece unique and are not defects. Over time your leather will also develop a rich patina.

Will my item look exactly like the photos?

We photograph our products as accurately as we can. Because every hide is different and screens display colour differently, your item may vary slightly in shade or texture from the images.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk orders?

Yes. We work with retailers, boutiques, online sellers and businesses, and offer wholesale, bulk and private-label options. Visit our Wholesale page or email us with your requirements.

Sizing & Personalisation

Getting the right fit and finish

How do I choose the right size?

Sizes are listed in inches on each product page. For harnesses, collars and waist-sized items, measure around the body where the item will sit using a soft tape measure and choose the size range your measurement falls within.

If you're between sizes, choose the larger size or select Custom.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Many of our products include a Custom size option. Select it on the product page and email your exact measurements and order number to thewildtanners@gmail.com.

Can I personalise my item?

Many products, including aprons, knife rolls, watch rolls, bags and gun cases, can be personalised. Choose Custom Personalization: Yes on the product page and tell us your details (for example initials, a name or a logo).

Can I choose a different colour?

Most leather products come in a range of colours shown on the product page. If you'd like something that isn't listed, choose Custom in the colour options and email thewildtanners@gmail.com with the colour you have in mind.

Can I return a personalised or custom-made item?

Because they are made especially for you, customised and personalised items are non-refundable. If a custom item arrives faulty or damaged, we'll repair or replace it free of charge.

Leather Care

Keep your leather looking its best

How do I look after my leather product?
  • Wipe off dust and dirt regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Apply a good-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple.
  • Keep it away from direct heat and prolonged strong sunlight.
  • Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable dust bag.
  • Avoid overloading bags and cases, which can stretch straps and seams.
What should I do if my leather gets wet?

Gently blot away excess water with a soft cloth and let the item dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer or radiator, as heat can make leather crack. Once dry, apply a little leather conditioner. Please note that water damage is not covered by our warranty.

How do I clean waxed canvas products?

Brush off dried dirt, then spot-clean with cold water and a soft brush or cloth. Do not machine wash or use detergents, as these strip the wax. You can re-wax the canvas occasionally to restore its water resistance.

Will my leather change over time?

Yes, and that's part of its charm. Quality leather softens with use and develops a deeper colour and natural patina. Light scratches can often be buffed out with your fingertips or a little conditioner.

Returns & Warranty

Our promise if something isn't right

What is your return policy?

You can return items within 30 days of delivery if they arrive faulty, defective, damaged in transit or are not the item you ordered. Items must be unused and in their original condition and packaging. We're unable to accept returns for change of mind. See our full Refund & Return Policy.

How do I start a return?

Email thewildtanners@gmail.com with your order number and clear photos of the issue. We'll reply within 1–2 business days with return instructions. Please don't send items back without our approval, as they may not be accepted.

Who pays for return shipping?

Return shipping is paid by the customer. If the item we sent was faulty, damaged or incorrect, we'll reimburse your return shipping cost.

When will I receive my refund?

Once we've received and inspected your return, we'll email you to confirm. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5–7 business days. You can also choose a replacement instead.

Do your products come with a warranty?

Yes. Our products carry a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects such as broken straps or handles, tears in the leather from normal use, and faulty zips, buckles or press studs.

It doesn't cover general wear and tear, accidental or water damage, third-party alterations, or natural ageing of the leather. See Warranty & Claims for how to make a claim.
