Tyler Shupe Leather
Leather Cantle Bag – Brown Chap Leather with Brass Zipper
Everything you pack for a long day horseback has to ride somewhere, and the best spot for it is right behind you, out of the way of your hands, your rope and your reins. This cantle bag is cut from soft brown chap leather and built with a natural curve, so it lays snug against the back of your cantle instead of sliding off to one side.
Two D rings are sewn into the front and tie straight to your saddle strings, so the bag goes on or comes off in a minute with nothing but the strings you already ride with. It closes with a solid brass zipper, and solid brass won't rust out on you the way plated hardware does after a few wet rides. It's handmade in our shop in Eminence, Indiana, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cantle bag attach?
Run a saddle string through each of the two D rings on the front of the bag and tie it off. The built-in curve lets the bag lay tight against the back of the cantle, so it rides quiet instead of swinging. If your saddle strings are worn out, our Cowboy Duct Tape Bundle is a grab bag of leather lace and strap that keeps spares on hand.
Will it fit my saddle?
The bag measures 20" long by 8" wide. To check your saddle, measure across the back of your cantle and the distance between the saddle strings you plan to tie to. If you have strings behind the cantle, the D rings give you an easy place to tie on.
What can I carry in it?
It's sized for the things you want within reach but out of the way: a lunch, gloves, fencing pliers, a hoof pick, a small first-aid kit or your phone. Keep your water on a rear billet water bottle holder and the cantle bag stays free for everything else.
How do I take care of chap leather?
Clean it with leather soap when it gets dirty, then follow with a conditioner like Skidmore's Leather Cream to keep it soft. Our Warranty & Leather Care page covers the full routine.
Shipping & Returns
100% Satisfaction Guarantee & Lifetime Warranty
Every Tyler Shupe Leather product is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials — every item we sell, no exceptions. No product is excluded; the warranty covers defects, not normal wear or misuse.
If your product ever fails because of craftsmanship or materials, contact us as soon as possible and we will repair or replace it free of charge. The warranty applies to the original purchaser. Normal wear and tear, 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.

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.
