Trigg Leather supplies leather for a variety of leatherworking and manufacturing applications. Because leather products can differ considerably in type, finish, thickness and intended use, review the description of the specific leather you are considering before ordering.

Genuine leather is a natural material rather than a perfectly uniform manufactured surface. Color, grain, texture and other characteristics can vary from hide to hide and sometimes within the same hide. Natural variations are part of what gives leather its character.

Not necessarily. Computer monitors, phones and tablets display color differently, and lighting can affect the appearance of photographed leather. Natural leather may also have color variation. Online images should therefore be considered a useful representation rather than a guarantee that every piece will be visually identical.

Leather is commonly described by weight, which corresponds to its approximate thickness. Different weights are appropriate for different applications. Lighter leather may be preferred for flexible projects, while heavier leather is commonly selected when additional body or durability is required.

The correct thickness depends on what you are making and how the finished item will be used. Belts, tack, bags, small leather goods and other projects can require very different leather characteristics. Review the product information carefully and contact us if you need help identifying an appropriate option.

Yes. Natural hides can display grain variations, wrinkles, healed marks and other characteristics that developed during the animal's life. The degree of variation depends on the leather and how it has been processed and finished.

A concho is a decorative piece of hardware commonly used on leather goods and Western-style products. Conchos can add decoration, create a distinctive design element or serve as part of the construction of a leather project, depending on the style and attachment method.

Conchos are used on belts, bags, tack, saddlery, cases, garments, accessories and custom leatherwork. They are also used in crafts and decorative applications beyond traditional leatherworking.

Yes. Conchos are one of Trigg Leather's specialties. We serve customers ranging from individual craftsmen looking for decorative hardware to retailers and manufacturers purchasing conchos for resale or production.

Yes. Conchos are available in numerous designs, shapes, sizes and finishes. Choosing the right concho involves both appearance and practical considerations such as the size of the project and the method used to attach it.

Measure the area where the concho will be installed and compare those measurements with the dimensions listed for the product. Do not judge size from the photograph alone because product photography may be enlarged to show design details.

Attachment methods vary by concho. Some designs may use screw-back attachments or other hardware. Always review the specifications for the individual product so you know what attachment method is provided or required.

Many of our business customers use conchos and other hardware as components in products they manufacture or sell. If you need ongoing or larger quantities, contact us about product availability and wholesale purchasing.

Trigg Leather carries leathercraft hardware and fastening products within our product selection. Availability and specifications vary, so review the appropriate product category or contact us if you are trying to match hardware to a particular application.

Measurements matter. Check the dimensions of both the hardware and the leather or material where it will be installed. A product that looks appropriate in a photograph may not be the correct physical size for your project.

Hardware described with similar finish names may be a close visual match, but products from different manufacturers or production runs are not always identical. If matching multiple components is critical to your project, contact us before placing a large order.

Yes. Trigg Leather offers wholesale purchasing for qualified businesses. Our wholesale program is intended for businesses purchasing leather, conchos, hardware and related supplies for resale, professional use or manufacturing.
