Rjf Leather

[believe]

Anyone use RJF leather? How was the veggie and Latigo?

[rickybobby]

Roger is great to deal with, all his leather is of fine quality. I have used his veg-tan sides, double backs, and double shoulders as well as his latigo.

Rogers leather is expensive 10.50 sq. foot on some of it. Most of it comes from Thoroughbred Leather he has stuff from Spain also. It is nice leather but I can't stand the price.

I've been using his bark tan (which is no more expensive than most others for quality leather - my last order fo shoulders was $5.90 s/ft) for some years now and in over 50 years of leather craft it's some of the finest leather I've worked with and FWIW - this leather comes from Portugal not Spain....excellent leather and excellent service

I'm currently on my first piece of leather from Roger. It's a #1 grade natural full grain double shoulder. I asked him who the tanner was, and he said all of the full grain double shoulders are Thoroughbred leather. I got it in 7/8oz. with the pasted back. When I buy 7/8 oz. Hermann Oak from Springfield it all comes dead even at 8 oz. Roger said his is split pretty much in the middle of the spec, and that turned out to be true, with this piece being right around 7.5 oz. In the future, I'll probably get 8/9 from Roger. I love the pasted back, and it only cost .15 extra. Definitely saves time from burnishing the interior of holsters by hand. I've only made three holsters with it so far, but I'm liking it. It seems to wet mold about like Hermann Oak. I LOVE the smell of it. At the time I ordered it, which was a few months ago, the price was $5.90 a foot for #1 grade and .15 extra for the pasted back. I don't remember what the #2 grade was, but it wasn't much less, certainly not enough to not just get the #1 grade. Be advised he takes payment by check or money order, not by credit card (at least as of a couple months ago.) I definitely see myself buying from him again.

+1 for Roger, I use his double shoulder veg tan 8/9 oz, really nice stuff, clean and a smooth back. Nice guy too. The prices on the veg tan double shoulder I thought were real good, better than the big names.

I have used RJF for my last 4 or 5 purchases in assorted weights, double shoulders and bends in grade #1 and drum dyed veg tanned. All have been great, at a better price than W&C or SLC and better quality. Send Roger an email or call him and while he doesn't take credit cards, he will mail you an invoice for payment by check.

I have purchased from him only once. his leather is excellent and his customer service is fantastic. He bent over backwards for me when sending some samples he truely went above and beyond. I ended up buying some european bridal leather and drum dyed lether . I should have gotten the drum dyed pasted on the back , I forgot to ask for it. I will definlty use him again when i need leather.

I ordered two double shoulders from roger and they were both really nice. One was drum dyed black and the other is natural. I thought the prices were great snd his communication, service and even shipping cost were great. I will placing my next order with him very soon!
