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. Quote

Let me know if you get anymore info. Do you happen to know what the shipping would be? Im looking for box calf as well and the best price I can currently find is around $18sf Quote
Members DavidL Posted August 1, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 1, 2014 probably 100-150 for shipping for 200 square feet is a guess. Which store did you find the box calf for 18? Quote
Members CustomDoug Posted September 27, 2014 Members Report Posted September 27, 2014 David, did you ever purchase any leather from leather-online.it ? Doug C Quote Does Anyone Know Where the Love of God Goes When the Waves Turn Minutes to Hours?
Members DavidL Posted September 27, 2014 Author Members Report Posted September 27, 2014 I have not bought from them. The calf looks like its good quality though. Quote
NVLeatherWorx Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 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? Quote Richard Hardie R. P.

Please point me in the right direction. I would love to buy some high quality calf right here in the USA. Quote http://www.sevenhillsleather.com/
NVLeatherWorx Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 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).

Members Hi Im Joe Posted October 11, 2014 Members Report Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) 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. https://hidehouse.com/products/index.html?Category=SC Edited October 11, 2014 by Hi Im Joe Quote http://www.sevenhillsleather.com/
