SpringyCL45 Report post Posted December 1, 2012 I'm relatively new to leather working and have purchased a few sides from Tandy to start me off. I'm looking into Wickett & Craig for my veg-tan and pre-dyed leather since I hear a lot of good things about them. However, I just received Tandy's holiday flyer in the mail and see an ad for some "assorted color upholstery & chap hides" for 79.99 (elite price.) Would you buy up one or two hides to work with or would you say I'd be better off saving the money for a W&C side instead? I will mainly be working on holsters, bags, wallets, and belts. I thought I read it wrong but apparently that price is for a full hide (45 sq ft @ 3-4oz.) Looking at everyone's awesome projects on here is getting me pumped for mine! Thanks for any advice you can offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
