I order regularly from Maverick Leather. They are good company. I live on the East coast so shipping takes a bit, but customer service is top notch.

Thanks, can we ask what products you prefer?

Personal reviews are good.  Anybody can write a check and buy an ad.. but let's hear what the people who "been there" (even if they haven't actually been there) think ;)

I am mostly getting Horween Chromexcel sides as well as some of the shrunken shoulders that they stock.

Just placed an order yesterday for the shrunken shoulders, and a few other sides that I have not tried before but need due to color request from a few customers.

I've ordered from them 5-6 times in the year I've been into leather working,  they are great to deal with.  I've only had one side of bison that I was unhappy with, it had been marked down and I didn't realize it had as much surface damage as it did.  I called, not to try and return it but just to clear up on future orders how to avoid getting something similar, they were great to talk to about it and all is well.  

My only complaint is the shipping cost,  I've yet to have shipping be less than $30 but yet it hasn't been more than $40 so I try to wait until I get a bigger order to make a purchase.

How are those bull shoulders (temper, quality). I was going to get a couple for some upcoming projects and have only gotten one before from someplace else and it was very stretchy and not good leather (looked fine just was very low quality). Curious how theres stack up.

I've recieved around 10 sides of Hermann Oak from them, some were marked down mis-splits, all were great quality, actually, some of the better leather I have.  Only thing I have that is any better is top grade W&C.  I have been really happy with the service, don't recall shipping, but that means it didn't break the bank.  I'll be ordering from them again when I need something.

It is the quality you would expect from Horween. The temper is soft yet firm. I think that you will find quite good. What is it that you are planning on making?

Thanks John. Depending on the length I wanted to use them as the outer layer on some belts and had a few ideas for some either inlay or outer layer for some hunting type bags/cases oh and as some portions of some motorcycle seats I am thinking of. I like the texture and finish on the outside of the shrunken bull but like I was saying the stuff I got way back I wouldn't want to put on any customers projects.

Well, that aint so bad.  The shipping was a bit over what it "could" have been shipped for, but I think due to the type of box, and in the end....

I got what i paid for, just as described, at the price I agreed to, and delivered in reasonable time (OR to IA in 3 days).  The box it came in is THE box i was needing, so that 'counts' :)
