Yes.

The back ("bend") is the best part with least stretch...

Hi - also from Victoria here. Caledon sent me a letter saying they're going out of business. So that's one less source in Canada sadly. Longview is a Weaver reseller, their product codes are identical. Sadly I tried emailing Longview and they never replied, so I'm going to try my luck with Weaver.

I've purchased from Springfield and they're great for small lots. My experience with cross border is to try and get it sent USPS, brokerage will be about $60 for $500 worth of product. Not too bad if it's good quality.

Oh and stay the hell away from the local Tandy reseller. When I first started I had some questions about sealing dye and they had no idea what resolene was..

Caledon is good. Take a look at Longview too. http://www.longviewleather.com/ I haven't ordered from them, will be going out to their shop one of these days. Longview is a member here too.

Edit: check posts by Wscott, a member hear, west coast. Or PM him. He has been dealing with someone in Vancouver for various leathers.

Ooh my ears are burning!!! :rofl:

There is a place in East Vancouver, Lonsdale Leather, on E 5th Avenue.

The Aussie owner, Phillip, is an AWESOME guy and will help sort you out. Not the cheapest, but great quality leathers.

Unfortunately he is trying to sell his business due to injury.

You could also go to the Tandy in Surrey BC and actually sort through the hides yourself until you find one you like.

It is a ferry trip and some gas, but you will get what you want either way.

Good Luck, Scott
