Sticky Report post Posted November 17, 2010 Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me where i cen get smaller amounts/pieces of leather in the uk that don't cost a fortune? I'm not bothered about the finish of the leather as it's going to be used fo making a tool roll for a bike, 8/10 ounce should be ok. Any help will be much appreciated.

Nutty Saddler Report post Posted November 17, 2010 Hi Talk to Richard Brown at Abbey Saddlery he may be able to help you out - 01565 650343 If you have no luck there talk to Claytons of Chesterfield - they do have smaller pieces / offcuts sometimes and are really helpful.

celticleather Report post Posted November 18, 2010 Joanne Flint sometimes has offcuts for sale on eBay. Check out Item No 130442625206 for a link to her shop. If you can't find anything there, send her a question via the eBay 'Ask a Question' facility . . . she's very helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gary Report post Posted November 18, 2010 I'd give Le Prevo in Newcastle a try as well (http://www.leprevo.co.uk/). I've recently started using them and they are very helpful, reasonably priced and they have leather that isn't on their website that may be what you're after.
