Contributing Member rdb Posted September 17, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 17, 2008 Okay, here's my three cents... I was stuck, my supplier didn't have a chestnut bridle side. I needed it for two commissions due this weekend. I had to have Thursday at the latest in order to make them. I called around and either nobody had it, or couldn't get it to me quick without $100 in shipping. On Monday, I called Peter at Waterhouse and he didn't have it either, but he said give me 5 minutes. I did, he called back. He was having the Tannery drop ship it to me UPS within 2 days ground at regular shipping cost. Well, this morning I received 2 Chestnut Bridle sides. Unbelievable Customer Care! Not only that, but it was less money than I usually pay for these sides. Unbelievable, Again! Wait, Wait.... "How do you want me to pay for this Peter? Do I have to send you my Tax papers or anything?", I asked. "If you promise me, you'll send a check, I'll let it go like that", he said. Unbelievable!!!!!! I paid right then over the phone. He sent me a ring of samples. There's definitely a few I will try. And he has my business for bridle sides forever. They cut like butter, they were practically flawless, even the belly side was practically useful. Unbelievable!!! I miss Boston. Quote Web page Facebook

Members Andy Posted November 21, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 21, 2008 Hi All, Once again I am here online bragging about my supplier, Waterhouse Leather. Note: I am NOT being paid by him, any favors given or ANYTHING like that. I like to promote the POSITIVE aspects of our trade/craft/careers. (we tend to whine alot at times and be negative about suppliers) Anyway, a few hides followed me home, Chestnut, Walnut and Black Bridle, all with SUPERB feel, these have been making wonderful rifle slings and belts. The veg tan is in full use for holsters and other gear, the lighter weight veg molds REALLY well. He has a PILE of orthopedic lining leather and some patterned leathers (ostrich/croc etc) that I am DYING to work with! Once again, two thumbs up!

MADMAX22 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 Ordered online a couple of things from them and well I wasnt impressed. Got a vegtan double shoulder and some of the upholstery leather they had on sale. I think Ill stick with tandy where I can choose what I want. Maybe if I had gone in person to the store (not a choice lol) it may be different. Ahhh well. Quote
esantoro Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Waterhouse hase a great price for bridle plus it ships free. Anyone know what tannery they use and whether they can do custom splitting? Ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
