Looking For Horse Butt In 7/9Oz

[azrider]

Got an order for some belts, and need 3-4 more pieces of 7/9 oz horse butt strips to make them. I have checked with Springfield, Maverick, Brettuns Village, Sheridan Leathers, Tannery Row, and Zack White. I haven't heard back from Tannery Row or Zack White yet. Has anyone recently ordered the heavier weight horse but strips from anywhere? All I seem to be able to find is 5/7 oz.

Well, I don't know anywhere that has heavier strips in stock right now, but here is a lead to chase down. Horween is the main supplier of horse leather in the U.S. Here is a link to the businesses that stock their leather. http://horween.com/stockists/ You might be able to track down someone who has the thicker strips in stock.

Thanks for the idea Glendon. When I went through the list, I only saw a few suppliers that I might be able to order from, and I had already contacted them. I got an email back from John at Tannery Row, which is Horween's retail arm. Even they are running on back order of 8-12 weeks right now. I contacted my customer and told him I would only be able to fill half his order. We will see what he says.
