Members DavidL Posted March 19, 2014 Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 I have looked at tandy, but a lot of their products are marked up by 50-150% compared to other retailers like Springfield (customer service haven't sent me a reply on a few questions I had). Are there any fellow Canadians that know of any shops that sell leather tools and leather at a reasonable cost. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted March 19, 2014 Moderator Report Posted March 19, 2014 Zelikovitz Leather has a great reputation and they are sponsors here. Quote
Members Roger J Posted March 19, 2014 Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 Where are you located? There might be a bricks and morter store nearby. Quote
Members DavidL Posted March 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 Where are you located? There might be a bricks and morter store nearby. I live in the greater toronto area. I found zackwhite.com and think they should work for what I'm looking for. If u have any mortar shops that you know of I'd be happy if you would share them. Quote

It really isn't in your neck of the woods, but I went here a few times: http://www.cuirsdesrochers.com They are more geared towards commercial clients (i.e. cobblers and such), but the two times I went there they were pretty nice folks.

Members mtroyalguy Posted March 20, 2014 Members Report Posted March 20, 2014 Any out west? Specifically the Edmonton region, although Calgary is doable for me as I get down there every few months. Quote
Members Gump Posted March 21, 2014 Members Report Posted March 21, 2014 There is Buckskin Leather in Calgary @ 5220 1 A street S.E., 403-253-3459. They have a large selection of hides at reasonable prices for Canada. Quote
Contributing Member Denise Posted March 21, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted March 21, 2014 Longview Leather has just bought out Caledon Sales, which was an excellent leather supply company in Calgary. We'll how to see how that goes but here is there website: http://longviewleather.com/ ' Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted March 21, 2014 Members Report Posted March 21, 2014 Tundra leather in Hamilton. Quote
Members rhinez0r Posted March 21, 2014 Members Report Posted March 21, 2014 I can vouch for Don at Longview (and now Caledon). Great customer service and very knowledgeable. Very good prices too. Tandy is okay in a pinch. I had a terrible experience with Lonsdale leather on Vancouver. Do not recommend them, which is unfortunate since they are so close to me. Quote
