justken Report post Posted January 1, 2012 Hello!..If you have a tax ID number then get a hold of Weaver Leather.Ask for their supply catalog.They have a lot of requirements for their finished tack,but is fairly easy to get a supply acct set up....Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboy bill Report post Posted January 2, 2012 click the ad banner for Springfield leather and look for the wholesale link on the left side. yep, the dog that bit me. i have to wonder if a store's retail price for a gal of neatsfoot oil is $33 and their so called wolesale price is like $28 and i can buy it anywhere else retail for that and cheaper, i have to wonder how they price everything else????kinda like the store that marked everythin UP for their sale so they can mark it DOWN when the sale starts !?? thanks for your reply, BILL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted January 4, 2012 Howdy Bill, I'm just up at the north of Stockton so we're almost neighbors. Anyway, I use Weaver for almost all of my hardware, tools and any other supplies I also get some leather from them. I'll stop by SLC or Tandy when i'm in the big city and have time to look around or if i just need a quick item. I do hand pick HO sides from SLC, their price is comparable to Weaver's and it's nice to be the one picking out the hide. I hope that helps out, if you find somewhere better let me know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
