Hello,
Anyone know of any Canadian suppiers selling Seiko sewing machines?
Thank you

[Japanese Brass Hardware]

I see a lot of leatherworkers using Japanese brass accessories, and really emphasizing that that is what they are using. What makes said hardware so superior and sought after?
I came across Smoky Sumi's online store, and they have quite a selection of Japanese brass. Does anyone  have any other sources?

Thanks,
Stephen
