Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 15, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted May 15, 2014 Alrightey, then. Roger called back, and I ordered a few weights to see what we're talkin' about. Definitely gonna figure out the check-sending thing, but I think it'll work out fine. None of you fellas tried the leather yet? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Definitely gonna figure out the check-sending thing, but I think it'll work out fine. None of you fellas tried the leather yet? Mine came in, I ordered a double shoulder in Natural and a Drum Dyed side of Mahogany. They both look great, but he sent Black instead of the Mahogany so he's sending the right color and it'll be here tomorrow. I love the look and feel of the leather, I have a holster order waiting for the Mahogany, I'll let you know after I get it in and start working with it. The natural was for stock to convert into Belts, Instrument Straps or Rifle Slings, and I don't have any orders for those at this time. This was a test order, so far I'm impressed. Roger was very nice and easy to deal with, even though it was my first order, he sent the leather at the same time I was sending the check so it didn't cause any delay.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 15, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted May 15, 2014 I ordered shoulders, too, in 3 different weights. Figured that's a good 'look see' order. I'm with you -- the HO I've been seeing is not what it used to be. I ordered "B" grade from one place and "A" grade from another and neither was particularly good (and some went back). When I get a total amount for the order, i'll have to call the bank and have them make out a check. The business account has NEVER had checks printed - just never had call for them Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

The business account has NEVER had checks printed - just never had call for them I don't have checks on my business account either but it is with Bank of America and they will send a check wherever I want it to go, I go online, pull up BOA and go to Payees and schedule a payment to RJF once Roger lets me know how much, BOA sends it out and it's a bank check so he doesn't have any problem with it either. Works OK, just can't believe that he doesn't take plastic! I've looked at the shoulder I got and it is beautiful, the back is firm and smooth and really looks nice, the surface has a sheen to it, so I am going to carve something and dye it, just to make sure it takes dye well. It is supposed to. His prices aren't bad either. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 15, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted May 15, 2014 Not sure what's with the ad at the top of this site, though. That price ($5.75 for backs) I think has gone away. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
rickybobby Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I have been using Rogers Leather for a couple years. He is a great guy to work with and his leather is the most consistent and best I have found. Almost every square inch of the double shoulders are useable making the cost per square foot less than anyone's. The leather tools great!! Quote Rick
Members BDAZ Posted May 17, 2014 Members Report Posted May 17, 2014 I purchased a black double shoulder and another from a well known quality supplier, and Roger's blew then out of the water for color, depth and consistency. Cya! Bob Quote
