cowboy bill Report post Posted July 24, 2011 i live in southwest missouri. looking got bst source for top quality heavy harness leather, just the plain russet color like is used to make the good reins. i want to make single ply hadstalls 10-12 oz . tandy doesn't even carry any and springfield leather had nothin usable. i guess i'm lookin for the souce that saddle makers use. i assume i need to look for the distributor that handles herman oak and will fool with the little guy and send me what i need. ????? thanks BILL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mijo Report post Posted August 1, 2011 I have always used Weaver Leather Supply, Just be picky when ordering and let them know exactly what you want, how thick, how long, even thickness, ect. I started using Weaver last year and haven't had an issue, but i've only placed one order thus far. The only gripe I have about Weaver is their minimum order requirements, which means I have to wait until a get a sizable order together before I can actually place an order. I really like their "odd lots" as there are some really good deals, I picked up some salmon/ pink 9-10oz bridle that's worked out very nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mulefool Report post Posted August 3, 2011 Well, if you're ordering a side of harness leather you won't have to worry about meeting the minimum! I get the Hermann Oak harness from them for building pack saddles. they have a cutting service which saves me a ton of time. I usually get backs which saves on waste.
