do more research..

what a crap guess I know who they are..

not fair enough for the comparison based on such samples. it simply doesn't work that way. you even didn't took a top side photos.. and a fleshy sides mostly appear on some shoulder/neck and the belly areas: both at HO and WC sides both tanneries are very good. one simply don't sale single sides, another does. personally shifted from HO to WC - they welcome new customers, they do sale a single side. and the leather is perfect, even the flesh side.

Mark has always being late to responses and even ignore. can apply for their sales position? )))

oh i was suspicious at my first order, but made research, and found out that production takes place in china. all that gone when i touched the hardware. now, each time looking for some hardware, i go to their website. let me be clean - i'm not working for them. just trying to be honest. smth went wrong in your case - they don't hide that production is overseas. many US brands does held their factories out of country exactly. not 'also' offers - always offer. that' the thing ))

yes - i did compare to me, it's a matter of choise. I used HO from the beginning, and now, has shifted to WC. very kind and helpful personnel, no minimums. WC sides a bit whiter . carves, tools and dyes well (as HO). didn't regret of shifting - especially when HO does want bulk orders, which tights the budget. and you get #1 grade (WCs standard) directly from the tannery

i did like what i ordered - black and brown 1.1mm i wanted to order more, in sizes and colors, but nothing useful available and a very poor stock. now, ordered some from rmleather - good service, nice choses..if their products cover my needs, will use on regular basis.

buckleguy -one of the best hardware manufacturers i've seen. check on their website catalog - different finishes, sizes - superior quality.
-
you can get backs from WickettCraig. No minimums.

Will I get better leather if I order....

agree mostly. there is a 'but' against a tape usage - when untaped, it makes a kinda roughness on the flesh side, which requires some additional work to be done, to make it smooth again. how do you fix it?

What the ...

looks like some liquid dropped onto leather may customer has cleaned the gun with any kind of spirit stuff? -
use it, if don't have enough budget don't use, if have enough money to get it at once
-
actually not true. have seen same on HO leather ordered in the past(not sure about grade, but anyway)..
-
true. agree 100%
-
footage?
-
photos, description, prices etc.
-
awesome
-
what sft?
-
of course it does. I meant dimensions, thickness, condition etc. and of course it's always easier to decide when a photo is presented. it's hard to 'guess' what's there

Hi Art, I do consider to buy Iwata. What's in your kit and general recommendations?
-
I don't exactly remember the technique, but it's almost possible. In general, you need a kind of 'magic' cream, basically made of beeswax and oils, and a mix of all of those. Heating+creaming, heating+creaming.. (in the head. my head ^_^ ) Try to google some. take care

could be a 'product' issue
-
what about WC tooling sides directly from tannery and the 1 grade ? comes around 210$ per side
