Hi, quick question here, i want to make a breastplate for my horse and i want what i would call a large concho in the middle of the chest. my problem is i cannot find one ( would love celtic if poss) and also i dont really know if they are even called conchos when they are big??? needs to be about 2 inches diameter. I am also in the UK , so probably postage too much from states for one such item? thanks in advance Sonja

my leather arrived from Metropolitan, was supposed to be 3- 3.5mm.. well its 2.3- 2.8mm !!! and i asked for a piece nearer the thicker end of their range too. Does anyone actually supply what they say they have?? getting very disheartened now

thankyou!

Hi, Me again with another newby question. Sorry. I have been searching for someone to make me a logo to stamp on my leatherwork. its just 2 initials made into a face. where is best place to get this done? i dont have a press so it would have to be hammered. I am in the UK.

Thanks for all the replies. I tried bakers but they seem to only answer emails every 5 days, so tonight i rang them. It seems that no one at all knows what they have available for sale so i got nowhere at all. I have now purchased some from metropolitan as recommended by gary. Just hope the leather is of good quality. I now need to find a good place to purchase celtic 1 inch conchos. The best ones i have found are in poland but they are very very pricey and if ordering wholesale you have to order massively.

j t bactchelor's webpage doesnt seem to have a link apart from map and email??????????? cant find any leathers at all, is it me?

thanks for the list gary, i am working my way through it. glad you had good experiences with abbey,fivewayswelshcob, i was horrified at their service and i have only ordered 3 times, all of which were disasters on their part plus they took money off my card without my permission which really really got my goat. they rang to apol , i wasnt here so left a message that they would ring back, they never did. I am in norfolk, is there a supplier this way at all?

Hi , thankyou for having me here. I am new to the world of leatherworking, just dabbling really. I am in the UK and am having difficulty finding a supplier for good quality bridle leather that actually has good customer service and ease of ordering. I have dealt with Abbey and do not want to repeat the experience. lets just say it wasnt positive although the product was fine - eventually. I have now been trying to contact Bakers and they only seem to answer emails about every 4 days. I am now beginning to think neither really wish for any custom. What other suppliers can i try please?
