Why Saddlemans?

While quality remains our top priority, supporting eco-savvy and sustainable processes remains at the heart of all we do.
By working with tanneries that practice sustainable procedures,
we’re helping to protect our environment by providing superior products in an ethically sensitive way.
Please join us in this cause by purchasing your hides with responsibility and supporting these efforts.


By using only the best European machinery and techniques, your premium Saddlemans cowhide will offer years of beauty and durability with minimal care.

A Saddlemans cowhide has been tanned properly, will not shed under normal circumstances, and will provide years of enjoyment with undeniable longevity.

Our hides are soft to the touch, thick, clean, have a bright luster to the coat, no chemical odors, and a resiliency only the finest leathers have.

A less expensive and inferior hide may have a chemical odor, a stiffer or duller coat, will be thinner and wear more easily. Over time, these lesser quality cowhides will deteriorate and perform poorly. You’ll recognize their poor quality when you see, smell, and feel them!



Whether it is a hand selected hide or a hand crafted custom rug, Saddlemans meticulously looks over every detail in our process.

Each item is produced with personal care and attention ensuring that you receive the highest quality possible.

The work ethic in our Brazilian tanneries is beyond reproach, and we proudly honor them for their tireless efforts in continuing to make us the very best.

Brazil's leather production is internationally recognized for their environmental management procedures and have subsequently been awarded 17 Gold, 14 Silver, and 2 Bronze certifications from LWG, The Leather Working Group.

The LWG uses the key areas of water usage, energy consumption, air emissions, effluent treatment and waste management as their means of auditing and awarding tanneries.

As well, Brazil's chemical products used during the tanning process have been rapidly evolving to stay on par with their reputation for excellence.

Last, but certainly not least, the strong majority of their hides are a byproduct of the meat industry. It is important we use all material left so as not to unnecessarily add to our landfills. All these assets mentioned cannot be said about other regions in the world.



Saddlemans Brazilian cowhides are known in the industry as a standard of luxury, quality, and purity.

We have a true devotion to providing only the most extraordinary and impressive hides available to anyone on the retail market.

It is because of our long term and personal relationships with our trusted suppliers that we can still to this day hand select the best cowhides.

We continue to visit our friends in Brazil multiple times a year, after almost 30 years, and we always get our pick of the very best they have to offer.

Our collections remain the widest selection of colors, styles and the most impressive sizes on the market.

There is a reason we are the industry leader for cowhides, and our uncompromising dedication to being the best will never end!
