I wasn't alive in '74...my apologies.

Top left is Amber Harness with no pockets, the rest have one open pocket and zipper on the opposite side. Front left is a very CXL-like leather from B Tannery in the DR. On top of that is Horween Cherry Cavalier avd front right is Canoe Caviler. In back are a Deep brown and Bourbon “Glove affair” from Siedel. Bottom and in the other pictures is Horween Rookery in Black, a great feeling Veg-Tan

Ahhh...the same era as "rich corinthian leather"

Those are the most funny...like saying "genuine fake wood" why would you even bother?

Yeah books are one of the categories where "genuine" is very unlikely to be a positive. Furniture is another

Nah! He’s referring to a bit of misinformation that got posted and was wisely removed Springfield know their stuff.

You should have taken a picture for Instagram... I'd love to have something to show the people who say "full grain " is the same as "full thickness" smh...

I’ll just add extra pictures as comments on my own post and they get merged anyway.

Unfortunately I don't know too many suppliers that would ship to you...I do sell leather (that's excess to me) but I'm primarily a manufacturer t. I know D'annonay makes nice calf leather (I get scrap from Alden of New England). Your straps look very nice...since you're talking smaller quantities hopefully someone can point to you a few European suppliers that can work with you to find something that will work.

Hey quick question: where are you located? What's easily available to you especially in smaller quantities will vary incredibly based on location.

Adding that if any one is scared off by "pink" it's actually a pretty neutral "nude" color.

Yeah I hate how much tighter shipping overseas has gotten. You would be looking at more for freight than for the leather.

Hi Folks I picked up a couple lots of leather recently and got a bunch of "Double leathers" in the Adria Dollaro Tannage from Mastrotto. These are interesting because they've been finished in such a way that the suede side is a contrasting color to the front. They're used in some "fashion bags" for a unique effect. They also make the need for lining or finishing the suede side of the leather unnecessary. Here's more info on the leather and the full tech specs one the "regular" (not double) version of the leather. https://www.gruppomastrottousa.com/collections/adria-express/ https://www.mastrotto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Adria-_scheda-tecnica_2022.pdf Most of the color Combos include one side as "Blush Pink" Hit me with any questions. I have decent quantity of many of these. It seems like the blush is usually the flesh side on these. Blush pink with grey Blush with Cognac Black with Blush Olive with Blush White with Blush Burgundy and Blush White with beige

Doesn't look good bro. Google search sends it back here to another listing. So unless they bought it in June and are reselling or are the same person, it seems very suspicious.

Email it to me. I’ll google search it for you. nstarleather@shtc.net Not everyone can take gambles but it can work out. I speak as someone who bought 20,000 feet of leather sight unseen last week.

@ramrod forgot to ask did you google image search the picture?

My gut says it’s legit. Too random of items to be scamming…especially clicker and mallet dies. I’ve got loads of old dies and unless you have a complete pattern and it’s something you want to make, they have very little value. Like if I were gonna scam a leather worker for $500, I’d say I’ve got a higher Desirable leather at a rock bottom price…as well as other more desirable/common machines/tools. To me the list seems too random to be a scam…

It's one of those "I know it sucks but we're doing the best we can!" situations. For a while during the pandemic our normal one week or less turn around time went to 3-5 weeks and we lost a "problem customer" because he insisted we get his order done one day earlier than I promised we could...and he got mad. In the end it's been the biggest blessing ever...the peace of not having to deal with him was so much better than any money he spent (and he was a $70K a year customer).

I've seen some quality drop in general...I think it's a combo of less workforce, supply chain issues and because of those to factors you get less quality "because they can"...I have an order in with one of the bigger USA tanneries for 5000 feet of one of their "Flagship leathers" and they've delivered 1500 feet since April 2020...they did have another 700 this year but I said to wait till they had more to ship. But, what am I gonna do? Nobody else makes it (one of those that people buy for the "name" as much as for the leather)...so I just wait patiently. So, they are really in the power position and if all the tanneries are working at full capacity (with huge waits), they can deliver lesser quality without worrying about complaints about quality or lead time.

So amazing to see two so similar posts…regardless it shows Tandy is selling some cheaper quality leather.

Hi Schick! Please post the picture here. I believe we already saw it: z9297at9x28a1.jpg.webp Everyone here will agree on the same the we said on Reddit. Chrome Tan is real leather and that is real leather but it's a low quality leather called a PU split. It's a cheap suede covered with Polyurethane. It's obvious from the back of the leather that it's not faux or bonded as those would have much more uniform backs. The fuzzy aspect assures me it's cheap suede covered in PU.

Yep that's the biggest red flag!

1st Email: Hello, I'm selling the rest of my printing due to ill health if interested leave a text so i can send the list of the items for sale thanks 2nd Email: yeah they are both leather and embroidery equipment these are the items i have to let go CS OSBORNE NO 86 $300 HF Osborne splitter $150 LARGE AND SMALL MALLET/CLICKER DIES $300 Used Tajima DC1215 $4700 SWF 4 Head $12000 OKI PRO8432WT Printer $2700 2014 Kornit Breeze $7000 AZON DTF DESKTOP $3600 Techsew SK-4 Leather Skiving Machine with Vacuum Suction $1700 Cobra Class 4 premium package $2000 clicker dies $900 I'm deeply sorry if i disturbed we once had a deal sometime ago before my email was down so i decided to check back in to know if you might be interested in one or two items ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I had no need for any of this so it didn't go further. Here's my clues on both sides: 1: Not Scam: It's a list if pretty unique items, strange way to scam right? They're offering stuff that's kinda valueless unless you need the very specific item: Clicker and Mallet dies? Not worth much without more descriptions. He's also not offering at any "too good to be true" prices to start. So I'm seeing too much that would be very dumb if they were a scammer...He also didn't push back when I said I wasn't interested. 2: Possibly Scam: Price lowered but a huge amount when you asked. Bad grammar/writing. "Overly polite tone" which I see with lots of scams...like "Deeply sorry", etc. If I had to guess, I'd assume he's legit but always buyer beware.

When people are getting out of the game they will sometimes sell for whatever I can get. I've bought leather dirt cheap over the year from folks closing down or bigger companies discontinuing a production run. Always be careful but occasionally "too good to be true" can happen....I once purchased 600 feet of shell at $2.50 per foot lol! Now I wish deals like that came along more often! Sometimes a person with a business has to close and has nowhere to put the stuff so they'll sell dirt cheap. I keep an eye on equipment auctions and stuff sometimes gets sold at an incredibly low price. Based on the item and the price, the same dude sent me an email too (a couple months ago), he said he'd offered me an item or two before...I totally don't remember and I've lost my older emails but it's possible. Guy's initials JW? What is strange to me is that googling him isn't leading to any business I can see, sure lots of people aren't very into the web but it is strange. His wording and way of writing seems to be lacking...which is common for scams. Here's my suggestion to find out if it's a scam: Ask for a picture of the machine, then google search the image. If it pops up in other places, then there's no machine.

Instead of a new post, new offer: Horween DHF 3oz Espresso Color $3 per foot: DHF are a little “rough” when it comes to range marks and scars.
