esantoro Report post Posted April 21, 2007 Any ideas for a source for 5/6 oz leather like this one below (rustic oil-treated chrome tanned)? I've some sides from Siegels. It could work, but not quite. I'd like to use this leather for books and briefcases. Thanks, Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-Man Report post Posted April 21, 2007 Try the folks at Hermann Oak. They have something very similar to that, and it's relatively new. I have a couple of samples of it. I can't remember what the name of it is at this moment, but it's being used for briefcases and similar. On the back of one of the samples I have it says, "Water Repellant, Dry Milled." It comes in two colors - black and brown - and is 5/6 oz in weight. I've ordered a side of the black. Talk to Judith or Lee at Hermann Oak, and ask for a sample piece of this, and that they sold some to Kevin at K&D Holsters. They can easily look that up and get you a sample. Or send me an email, and I can send you a small piece from what I have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also looking for this other type of leather, if anyone has any leads. Thanks, Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
