Members awharnessshop Posted January 14, 2008 Members Report Posted January 14, 2008 I've had good luck with Triple C in KY for bridle leather. Fast shipping, good price, No complaints here! Quote
Members ryan Posted January 14, 2008 Members Report Posted January 14, 2008 I have been buying leather from Weaver for a few years now and I guess I would have to agree with the TR Grade comments. My question is this; is actual, bonified Herman Oak leather considerably better quality when you buy it either direct or from someone else like Goliger? I have bought maybe three sides of "Herman Oak" from Weaver now and I am not impressed at all with it in any way shape or form. It's hard as heck to cut and it doesn't take a casing very well. I have been 110% satisfied with W&C 's leather though! Their tooling leather is great and I made my first saddle with their skirting leather and it was a joy to work with as was their work harness which should be named something else as it was better grade than I had expected! I am not knocking Weaver though, I love their service and they have very fast shipping. Their Master Tools are exceptional quality and I purchased an Adler 205 about a year ago and call Vernon from time to time for assistance and he's great. I just don't know if I can keep buying my leather from them. They only downfall I've experienced with W&C is it seems like shipping is a little steaper than most. Ryan Quote

I usually order it direct, and I've found it's tooling properties to be better than Wickett and Craig. And, H/O cuts and molds better than any to me. Oh well, we all tend to have different experiences. Quote
Members Noah Posted July 19, 2008 Members Report Posted July 19, 2008 Living where I can drive there and pick things out in person I have an advantage. But as suggested, call them and let them know. They're very good about making things right with you. I have bought alot of leather from them and had no problems. I use alot of the english bridle leather. It's very nice. Quote
