[ioann]

I am looking for veg tanned goat skin 5-6 oz or thicker.

Does anyone know anything where you can buy it?

I've never seen goat that thick personally. Tandy has some thin stuff http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/department/Leather/Tooling-Shoulders-Bends-Bellies/9153-00.aspx that's all I know of except garment goat, which is 1.5-2.5 oz

Goat is generally no thicker than 3-1/2 oz, maybe 4 oz, tops. Truly, I don't believe it exists in the weights you want- they're small (tiny, actually) compared to cattle.

Maybe a veg-tanned tooling calf skin would about the same size as tooling goat and might run about that thickness? Calfskin also tends to be pretty thin though.

I just ordered a skin from Zack White Leather It hasn't arrived yet but I hope it will work out for the project that I have upcoming. I don't think it was as thick as you are wanting since it is for little bags that I am reproducing.

Have a look at pergamena.net's goatskins I got a sample from them a little while ago that included some good thick goat. It's pit tanned though, so it acts a bit differently to modern veg tan. The calfskin samples I got from them were the nicest leathers I've ever handled, by a long long way.
