Specialty Leather Productions

In 1997, Specialty Leather was founded in Boone, Iowa — and we’ve been producing exceptional leather ever since. We earn your business by turning the hides you provide to us into high-quality leather in a range of colors at fair prices, with reasonable turnaround times. We feel you won’t find finer leather at a better value anywhere. We are experts at making chrome-tanned leather from animals harvested around the world to those hunted right here in our backyard. Our scope of work can range from a single Beaver Tail sent in by a hobbyist in Wisconsin, to a large crate of hides from a successful African safari hunter that are destined to become boots, belts, handbags, gun cases and furniture. Our primary business is to produce leather from hides sent to us by taxidermists, outfitters, and individuals wishing to honor nature and create something special from their harvest. We specialize in Elephant, Hippo, Rhino, Cape Buffalo, Deer, Elk, Bison, Alligator, Crocodile, Ostrich, Cattle, Snake, Beaver Tails and more! We can also process your Deer, Elk, Bison and Cattle hides with the “Hair On” as well as create rawhide from these domestic species. All of the tanning and dyeing is completed in-house by our staff and we take great care to make certain that the hides you send to us are the ones you will receive back.
