Where Can I Get Pre-Thined ~1.5 Oz Kip Calf Veg. Tanned Leather?

[Csr111]

I purchased some quality leather off eBay of this thickness and am looking for a supplier to get leather that is already thinned to ~1-1.5oz so i don't have to keep thinning it myself.

I've used some lower quality tooling sides from tandy, but am looking to get a better quality (veg tanned) item that is already this gauage.

Please let me know if you know where i can get leather like this.

Thanks!

First post. I too am interested in obtaining the same type and thickness of leather?

Thank you in advance.

springfield leather should have what you are looking for give them a call and tell them what you are needing.

Wickett&Craig will split a side to any thickness you want, I use 1.5oz., it's nice stuff

Hmm, I actually contacted them and they said the thinnest they can split is to 2.5 - 3 oz?

Just checked my invoice, 1.5-2oz......

That's strange since I got kind of a snippity email response from them stating "As usual rumours are false. No, we can not help you with purchaseing 1.5oz...the thinnest we can split is 2.5 - 3 oz.

that is kind of snippity response apparently they don't need any business

I've got no answer for that. Did you call and speak to a salesperson? I deal with Matt, he's always very helpful.

Nah, after that I kinda abandoned ship. I did however find some 1.5oz full grain veg tan goat leather online though. I don't really know the difference between goat and cow hides. Any thoughts on how different the full grain goat hide would be?

Sorry, I've never worked with goat

goat skin will be more like deer/buck skin.
