Hi, I'm new to the forum, and am finding so much good information here! Thanks to you all.

I make soft cover leather journals, and am looking for good leather suppliers -- could any of you recommend suppliers who stock 4oz - 6oz leather, soft to medium temper with a naked finish? I've used Hide House's glove tan cowhide, and like it, but would like to know if there are other good suppliers. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking about Wickett & Craig, but when I looked at their website, the leather was mostly heavier -- 10 oz range. I'll give them a call and see what else they have. I'll also check out the other sources you mentioned.

I did check the supplies section, but after looking at some websites, I think I'll have to call to see if supplier have what I want. I was asking for suggestions because the last time I ordered from Hide House, some of the leather was great, and some was not useable. I'd like more consistency from my supplier, as it costs a bundle to return things (I'm in Canada).

They will split it down to what ever weight you want for no charge.
