http://leather-online.it/en/home/50-aniline-leather-black-calf-skin-for-leather-goods-bags-wallets-shoes-binding.html

The leather seems like a steal at that price 12 square feet at $8/sq foot. Maybe 9-10 usable square feet still at 9-10 dollars. Other italian and french leathers are 18 - 25 a square foot for the leather hermes uses. Is this leather a cheap imitation of that sort of high end hermes type leather or a good priced premium calf leather in the quality range of what horweens puts out.

This leather will be used for wallets both unlined and lined with thin leather. I will pay for the samples if they seem to have leathers that are high quality.

And you can get the same stuff for a whole lot less right here in the U.S.A., all you have to do is look around. Afterall, that calf where the leather in Italy came from was born, raised and processed right here in the U.S.A. anyway. Why buy an American product from a foreign source?

Please point me in the right direction. I would love to buy some high quality calf right here in the USA.

What use do you have intended for it? If you are looking for lining calf then go to Springfield Leather; if your are looking for something a bit more robust then check out The Hide House. I know that the price for the Springfield Leather lining calf is below $5.00 per square foot and that is at full retail (if you are a licensed business then setup a wholesale account with them and get it even cheaper). The Hide House is also much cheaper than the prices mentioned in the earlier posts (you can download a PDF version of their catalog and they also offer businesses a wholesale pricing program).

I found some glazed calf and kid on the Hidehouse site. Not really sure what the difference is between calf and kid...

It does look pretty promising.

This guy/gal spent some time looking into the tanneries that supply Hermes etc...and decided to share some info.
