I use W&C and love their leather. I use it for saddles, belts and pretty much anything else I make. I buy directly from them. I usually buy they 3rd quality and to me it looks like top quality. Never had a hole in it or brand. Great for tooling. My last order I paid $100 a side, one in black and one in brown, both 8/9 oz. Using Tandy is like going to cardboard but on occasions I get some thin stuff for a small project like a wallet, nothing that I expect to get hard use.
