artificer13 Report post Posted September 17, 2011 The title says it all really. I'm looking for top grain pigskins or boarskins that aren't sueded and are thicker than lining weight. Anywhere between 2-6oz would be fine, veg-tan or chrome would be workable (although I'd prefer veg-tan). I've been searching the internet and can find jackets/purses so I KNOW it's out there somewhere, and occasionally find the odd piece on eBay, but am looking for a consistent source. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmoffett Report post Posted December 4, 2011 I'm interested in the same thing. Did you find anything? I've seen that companies like Russell Mocassins use it for their soles, so I imagine they have a reliable source. Cheers, Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdwintx Report post Posted December 10, 2011 I think that you will find that the only sources for those types of materials are in China/India/Mexico. The majority of pig leather is split and used in automotive/furniture and garmet industries, You might speak with these folks and maybe they could point you in the right direction but even their pigskin is not the weight you are looking for nor is is Veg/Chrome tanned. http://www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/sides.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
