I know I'm late to the party but yeah as far as SLC I used to buy 90% of my leather from them before the pandemic usually HO single shoulders and harness by the foot as I'm just a hobbist. But during the pandemic i bought a cobra 26 from them and some HO by the foot and a couple of shoulders and man i was extremely disappointed both shoulders were oxidized and a dark pink color and 1 looked like it had been shot with bird shot. i haven't bought anything from them in a while infact the best piece of leather i have ever received was from a FB live sale and it was supposedly a HO reject. Makers in Waco has never disappointed me nor has Traditions in OKC and if im on a budget Frogjelly
