9-10 Culford Mews

London, N1 4DZ

The have very soft, very, very clean vegtan sides and shoulders in 1mm-1.5mm, 2mm-2.5mm, 3mm-3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm and others grades thicker. They also do all the buckles, tools, rivets and finishes you could want.

They do all kinds of chrome tan as well as splits and suedes.

They are an old fashioned company with no website or email. They do take credit card payments and try and ship orders fast though. I don't know about overseas shipments.

thanks badger for info

- did you know how is the pricement of the leather?

- did they charge the leather by weight or dimensions?

- is it possibile to get a sample from 4 or 5mm tooling leather??

here in germany and around / it means italy / spain or somwhere its really heavy to find a tannery

the law for wastewater are so stiktly so the most tannerys are closed and the carindustrie is down at this time, it will kill the rest.........

Johann,

Price is usually per side or shoulder. I pay between 3.15 and 3.90 Pounds Sterling per square foot plus shipping, depending on thickness.

The sides are BIG.

They sent samples to me when I requested them.

Cheers,

Badger

Hi Johann,

I don´t really know about the quality compared to Hermann Oaks, but I have good experiences with the leather from Worring Leder

But I also saw that Hermann Oaks must have a distributor here in Germany.

Could you please explain to me, what you mean with "deadgrinding" leather ?!?

Cheers,

Marcel

hallo marcel,

deadgrinding = totgewalzt (wie einen strudelteig!!) das heisst in usa wird leder nach gewicht verkauft und bei uns nach fläche

grüsse und danke

Hello Johann,

I buy my carving leather and most other leathers I need at Kobel http://www.kobel-leder.de/ . Their leather is easy to carve, but it is maybe not as cheap as other tannerys. The burnishing of Hermann Oak leather is a bit reddish, and Kobel leather not. They send you samples upon request I think.

They sell their thicker hides from 2 mm up by kilogram , only thin leathers are sold by squaremeter.

Years ago I bought a hide via ebay ( it was the one and only auction I saw from them) from Kilger http://www.kilger.de/index.cfm

It was a very good quality too, but I don't know their current pricelist.
