Mongo Report post Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I'm looking for a source for heavy split (about 5 oz.)chrome tanned leather. I had a side thatI got from a Tandy Leather Factory store years ago. It made the best lining for cowboy gun belts. It was much stiffer than regular suede andcame in a chocolate brown color. I took a small sample of it back to the Leather Factory andthe manager said that it was known as strap, lace, or apron split. He stated that it came from a small (now closed) tannery in Wisconsin. I would love to find another source of this leather. I don't want to buy more than one large side at a time, though.

I just purchased a heavy split from Tandy,...4-5 oz. for making two sets of welders chaps. They still carry it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mongo Report post Posted February 8, 2012 My Tandy Leather Factory has not carried it in over a year. I will check again, however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
