Lead time for new production and shipping from the time the order is placed to the time we receive the product is 8-10 weeks for most tanneries. We can create custom colors of any of our articles, but Napa Silk, Kipling, and Satin Suede are all available in small quantities with a small up-charge. All other leathers have a minimum order quantity of 2,500 square feet. For all custom color orders, we ask that the customer provide a swatch for us to match. Please allow two to three weeks for a custom order sample or ‘strike off’. A ‘strike off’ is similar to a CFA. Generally, the strike off is approximately 8×10. Once approved by the customer, lead time for production is 4-6 weeks.
