Is there a reasonably priced leather supplier recommendation

[Mulligan31]

So far I have bought 4/5 ounce veg tan leather from Tandy. Is there a consensus on where a beginner can get cheap leather?

Might be an idea to tell us where you are.

In addition to your location, if you give us more information on what you are doing with this leather, and what kind of leather you are looking for, we can help a lot better!

In lieu of any other qualifiers, Springfield Leather Co. is one of my go-to sources.  They have both an online catalog and a printed one should that appeal to you.  It generally has some helpful info in it in addition to the products.

Yes, more info would help.

Thanks all for taking the time to respond.  So much shopping is done online now it never occurred to me to give a location. I am in North east ohio. I have only been learning this craft a couple of weeks so it also didn’t occur to me to mention what I was doing. I have so far been doing small projects. Wallets and pen holders and bracelets. I have been working with 4/5 oz veg tan and that seems to work out well. I just foot a beginners tooling set so I want to give that a try as well.

I buy from Goliger leather in California.  Dont know about cheap though. I have learned that cheap is, well, cheap. Hermann Oak is reliable and consistent. I buy the sides. I've been benn doing this a while though. And saying that, I had a piece of 4/5 tandy veg tan I bought cheap that hung around my bench for a couple of years before I threw it out. Maverick leather and Montana leather have veg tan that's better than tandy and will sell it by the square foot.

I second the recommendation for https://www.springfieldleather.com/ Their prices range from fair to cheap, they've got a huge variety of different types of leather as well as tools. Their youtube videos are pretty helpful too.

Weaver leather is another source. And +1 on Mavrick and Montana.
