I've had good luck with Triple C in KY for bridle leather. Fast shipping, good price, No complaints here!

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.

The comment on Hermann Oak is interesting. I've never ordered it from Weaver. 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.

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.
