Members Csr111 Posted April 4, 2013 Members Report Posted April 4, 2013 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! Quote
Members dudelepowski Posted May 31, 2013 Members Report Posted May 31, 2013 First post. I too am interested in obtaining the same type and thickness of leather? Thank you in advance. Quote

Timd Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Wickett&Craig will split a side to any thickness you want, I use 1.5oz., it's nice stuff Quote

Members dudelepowski Posted June 4, 2013 Members Report Posted June 4, 2013 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.

Members St8LineGunsmith Posted June 4, 2013 Members Report Posted June 4, 2013 that is kind of snippity response apparently they don't need any business Quote No Matter Where Ya Go There Ya Are.

Timd Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 I've got no answer for that. Did you call and speak to a salesperson? I deal with Matt, he's always very helpful. Quote

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? Quote
