    The first Herman Oak we purchased was wonderful. Last two, not so much. We have upped the grade when we order, and many flaws in the last two

  2. Pat@MontanaLeatherCompany (store manager)

    Hey Debra! I’m sorry to hear the quality wasn’t quite to your liking. Please give us a call or email and we can arrange a return for you, we’d be happy to help.

    For Herman oak grade A tooling leather it came with a lot of scratches and to be frank the hide it’s self was very good

  4. John (verified owner)

    The side of leather was definitely not grade A. I would have sent it back if I didn’t have pending orders waiting. Unfortunately about 1/3 of the side that usually is usable is now scrap.

  5. Pat@MontanaLeatherCompany (store manager)

    Hey John. I’m sorry to hear the leather was not to your liking. As you may know, we do not do any grading ourselves, but we will be happy to do an exchange for you if you haven’t already cut into the side. I will reach out to you via phone as well just in case.

  6. Scott M. (verified owner)

    I was very displeased with this side of leather. I purchased a side at a premium price that was supposed to be a A and it looks like a TR side I could get for much less money. I have purchased Herman Oak from Montana Leather and have had few issues, but the last couple of times it was a disappointment. I had to send one side back because it was not useable, this recent side looked like a C or D side. I am not sure that I will order any more Herman Oak from Montana in the future.

  7. Pat@MontanaLeatherCompany (store manager)

    Hey Scott, I am sorry that the leather was not to your liking. We are always willing and able to accept returns within 30 days, and will even pay for return shipping in some cases. Additionally, we can offer expedited shipping on replacements if time is an issue, just give us a call or email and let us know. If we can help on this particular order, please reach out to us and we will go from there.
