Tyler Shupe Leather
Basketweave Tooled Leather Bible Cover with Hair on Hide Front & Back, Zippered
Hair-on cowhide on the front and the back, framed in hand-tooled basketweave leather with a floral border and white stitching around every panel. The spine is basketweave-tooled too, so there's no plain side to this cover. A zipper wraps around three sides and closes with a leather pull tab, so your Bible, notes and bookmarks stay put whether it's riding in the truck or sitting beside you on the pew.
Pick Your Hide
There are eight covers, each with its own hide on the front and back. Every cover is photographed front and back and sold as its own option, so the cover in the photos is the exact cover that ships. Pick a hide and the photo switches to that exact cover. The lineup runs from cream and salt-and-pepper to brindles in light, red, tan, tiger-stripe, dark, and brown and white. The tooling, spine and interior are the same on all eight; only the hide changes. When a hide sells, it's gone.
What's Inside
Unzip it and the inside is lined with embossed floral leather and smooth brown leather panels. Two leather loops hold a pen and a highlighter, so you're ready to underline a verse or jot a sermon note without digging for one.
Size & Fit
Closed, the cover measures about 10½" tall by 7½" wide and fits Bibles up to about 9" tall and 7¼" wide. Measure your Bible before ordering, and if you're unsure whether yours will fit, call, text or message us with its measurements and we'll tell you straight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get the exact cover in the pictures?
Yes. Pick a hide and the photos switch to that exact cover, front and back, and that's the one we ship. We have one of each, and once it sells that hide is gone for good.
Can I have it personalized?
Yes. We can engrave a name, initials or a date for a $25 engraving fee. Contact us before or after you order and we'll work out the wording and placement with you. Engraved covers are final sale.
Will my Bible fit?
It fits Bibles up to about 9" tall and 7¼" wide, which covers most standard and compact Bibles. Very large print or oversized study Bibles may not fit. If you're on the fence, send us your Bible's measurements through our contact page before you order.
How do I care for the hair-on hide?
Brush the hair in the direction it lies now and then, and keep it out of standing water. Wipe the tooled leather with a damp cloth when it needs it and condition it occasionally. Our leather care products work well on the tooled panels.
Does it make a good gift?
It's one of our favorite gifts for baptisms, confirmations, graduations, pastors and Christmas. At $125 it ships free in the U.S., and it's in stock and ready to go, with no made-to-order wait.

Shipping & Returns
100% Satisfaction Guarantee & Lifetime Warranty
Every Tyler Shupe Leather product is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty — every item we sell, no exceptions. No product is excluded. The lifetime warranty covers anything Tyler makes that breaks or fails in normal use. Parts that wear with use, like latigos and off billets, aren’t covered once they’ve worn out.
If your product ever breaks or fails in normal use, contact us as soon as possible. If it can be repaired, we’ll repair it. If it can’t, we’ll replace it, at no charge. The lifetime warranty covers the original owner, whether you bought it yourself or received it as a gift. Normal wear and tear (like a latigo or off billet that has worn out from use), misuse or neglect, prolonged water damage, and alterations made by someone other than us are not covered — but if you’re unsure, just reach out. We’re always happy to take a look. Full details and care requirements are on our Warranty & Leather Care page.
Returns
Yes — we accept returns. Eligible items may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund.
- Items must be unused, unaltered, and in resaleable condition, with their original packaging.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method once your return has been received and inspected. Please allow 3–5 business days after inspection for processing; bank posting times vary.
- Original shipping charges are not refundable. Only the price of the returned items is refunded. If your order shipped free, nothing is deducted for the original shipping.
- Return shipping is paid by the customer. You can use our prepaid label — the cost of the label is deducted from your refund — or ship it back with your own insured carrier.
Final Sale — Not Eligible for Return
- Custom, engraved, personalized, and made-to-order items are final sale. They cannot be returned or exchanged. (The lifetime warranty still covers them against defects.)
- Clearance and other final sale items.
- Items showing wear, damage, odors, or alterations.
- Leather damaged by improper care (harsh chemicals, sealed storage causing mold).
- Gift cards.
How to Start a Return
- Email shupe_tyler@yahoo.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and what you’d like to return.
- We’ll reply with return instructions and your prepaid label option.
- Send the item back unused and in its original packaging. Once it arrives and passes inspection, we issue your refund.
Belt Size Exchanges
Belts are measured from the fold at the buckle to the middle hole, and sometimes the number just isn’t right. We are happy to exchange new, unworn belts for a different size.
- No time limit. As long as the belt is unused and in original condition, we’ll exchange it — there’s no deadline on a size swap.
- You pay shipping both ways — shipping the belt back to us, and shipping on the replacement belt.
- Custom, engraved, and personalized belts are final sale and cannot be exchanged.
- Not sure what to order? Our Belt Measurement Guide shows exactly where to put the tape.
How to Start an Exchange
- Email shupe_tyler@yahoo.com with your order number and the size you need — before sending anything back.
- We’ll confirm the size you want is available and send you return instructions.
- Ship the belt back to us. When it arrives, we’ll send a short invoice for shipping on the replacement — once that’s taken care of, your new belt goes out.
Who Pays Shipping

| Belt size exchange | You | You |
| Warranty repair or replacement | You | We pay |

Original shipping charges are never refunded, on a return or an exchange. International customers cover return shipping as well as any duties, taxes, or import fees.
Shipping & Processing Times
We do our very best to get all in-stock orders shipped within 2–3 business days of being placed.
Because our products are handcrafted and we’re a small operation, there may occasionally be times when processing takes up to 4–5 business days. If that happens, please know we’re still working hard to get your order out as quickly as possible.
Custom, engraved and made-to-order items are built for you from scratch and take longer — we’ll email you an estimated ship date after you order. If you need something by a certain date, message us before ordering.
Free U.S. standard shipping on orders $99+ (after any discount codes). Orders under $99 ship for a flat $9.95; standard shipping typically takes 3–7 business days once your order is on its way.
Expedited Shipping
For a flat $25, our expedited processing and shipping option moves your order to the front of the line and ships it via USPS Priority Mail — about 2–3 business days from order to door for most U.S. addresses.
If you need an item shipped faster than our expedited option, please contact us before placing your order and we’ll do our best to help.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking information.
Please note that processing time is separate from shipping time, and carrier delays are outside of our control. If your package arrives damaged, email us within 7 days with photos of the box and item so we can make it right.
