Here are some of our sturdiest leathers, the ones we suggest when the request is made, “I want my Bible to last forever.” While we can’t guarantee that kind of longevity, we can tell you that some leathers will last longer than others, and we would like to steer you to the right ones if that’s your goal.

All these options come complete with “Holy Bible” on the spine or face (if the material is imprintable), one ribbon marker and new leatherette end pages.

These prices are assuming your Bible has an intact sewn spine. If the pages are falling out or the spine is glued, we would need to repair that with cord insertion ($20.00).

When you know what you’d like, just proceed to our ordering page. If you can’t decide, give us a call or write.

Hand-Dyed Rustic Goatskin

This Bible cover is not soft and cuddly, but is tough and made to last long.  It can be intricately blind-stamped and edge-tooled.  It is great for the personal to large size Bible.  Pictured is dark brown.

Hand-Dyed Calfskin — back in stock!

This Bible cover (American West II) is made of good, strong English calfskin with a hand-rubbed antiqued finish in medium brown, dark brown, tan, saddle tan (pictured) or mahogany. The flexibility is medium and best for a personal size or large size Bible.

Pebble Grain Calfskin

Good for medium to large Bibles and available in black, brown, burgundy, mahogany, or navy.

Hand-Dyed Kangaroo

We call this look the Outback Bible, made from drum-stuffed, hand-dyed (medium to dark brown), antiqued leather made from government-culled imported Australian kangaroos. This is a firmer leather, but it’s easily tooled. Kangaroo leather has one of the highest tensile strengths on the market. It has a wonderful smooth grain and leather smell. Kangaroo needs to be special-ordered and paid in advance.

Mission grain pigskin

Sturdy standard grained leather with a matte finish and medium flexibility. This leather is both sturdy and economical. Our mission grain pigskin doesn’t have to be stiff, though. Ask for our Feather-Lite interior liner. (No charge.) Available in dark brown and black (pictured). Mission grain has an impressed, linear texture.

Soft-Tanned Goatskin

Soft, flexible leather, in black, butterscotch, or tobacco, but not so soft that it’s fragile.  Pictured is the most sturdy — the thicker, richer, glossy chocolate.

Wild-Grain Goatskin:

Harmatan natural wild grain goatskin is highly polished leather with a rich grain. Classy. We use traditional weight, full-grain leather for maximum durability, and that’s great for a study Bible. Pictured is the Crimson. Also available in Black, Gray, Medium Brown, Chocolate, Dark Green, Maroon, Light Blue, Medium Blue, Navy, Purple, Orange, Terra Cotta, Biscuit, Beige, Pink, Tan, Blue-Green, and Yellow. Note: Harmatan goatskin needs to be special-ordered and paid in advance.
