Hello all. I'm relatively new to this forum, but so far have found it incredibly helpful.

I'm currently on the market for camo leather in woodland (green/brown) and black/white color ways that I can use for making watch straps. I only have experience using vegtan and Horween Chromexcel, and don't know where to go for camo printed leather in the thick enough (5/6oz) for watch straps.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks! I'll have to check that out. Only issue is that I need a black variation...kind of like an urban camo...as well. Appreciate the help!

I saw the tandy camo in the store the other day. It looks to be printed on split leather, not top grain...

I've seen some here in Denmark. There's a slight pull up to it and it's very uneven in texture, as if the leather has been creased purposely.

I think it's impossible to find any urban camo. So I would get some dye at get to work on some natural veg tan. If it's only watch straps it might be possible, as the surface is very small.

I saw the shades of black, grey, white color in camo leather at Sav More leather two weeks ago. Sav More's info is:

1626 Wall St, Los Angeles, CA 90015
(213) 749-3468

I am not sure whether the hides were shoulders, double shoulders or ? The leather looked to be 3-4 ounces but you can call them and find out. I visit this store in person but in all probability they will ship.

Their prices are good-wholesale. If you do not have a resale No. they still give the wholesale price.

I hope this helps.

Nancy
