For reference, I paid $90.38 for a 12 foot long cream colored sheepskin ordered this summer from Beiler's Manufacturing and Supply.  They have golden and cream colors in different sizes.

Do they have a website for the leather side of things?  All I can find is hydraulics, etc.

I think this is golden shearling. That Cattleman & Mablung is referring to.

Hmm. I wonder how that compares to this item from a local supplier, Glacier Wear.  1/4" vs 7/8", so a big difference there. But a quarter of the price per square foot.  I can't imagine it making a difference for things like holster lining, but then I've never had a lined holster.

I bought a yard of the Tandy artificial sheep skin, I haven't gotten to use it yet but it seems like it will work well and the nice part is, its a nice rectangle shape so there should be minimal waste.

Beiler's Manufacturing and Supply in Ronks PA is an Amish company without a website.  Call them at 717-768-0174 for a catalog.
