I purchased some buffalo leather from them once for a purse and ended up sending it back. It was not as flexible as I was used to; not their fault, just my preference. They were easy to deal with for my return. I buy the vast majority of my buffalo leather from The Hide House in California. Their chrome-tanned stuff is top quality. I get their 8 oz leather for moccasins and 4 oz for bags and such. Another good source for buffalo leather is Rocky Mountain Tanners. They have a great EBay store where you can see the exact hide you are buying.

Thanks, Karina! I probably enjoy making moccasins the most but I always worry about getting them to fit well. I ask the folks I make them for to give me a whole boatload of measurements but you never know until they try them on for the first time.

Hello, my name is Darren Haverstick and I stumbled across this site while searching for suppliers of exotic leather remnants. This looked like a great place to learn about all things concerning leather so I figured I'd better join up and start soaking up some of that knowledge. I started hand-sewing leather a few years ago after I took up traditional muzzleloader hunting and wanted to make myself some buckskins. Now I'm ate up with the "hobby" and spend most of my spare time planning out or sewing up a new project. I've made some new friends all over the globe who took the time to answer my newbie questions and I hope to make some more here. Below is a link to a photo gallery of some of the things I've made. I hope you like at least one of them! http://s137.photobuc...y/Leather Goods
