Members grmnsplx Posted December 31, 2014 Members Report Posted December 31, 2014 Where are you getting your leather from? Tandy has it, Springfield Leather has it, just about everywhere I order from (warehouse direct) carries it. Is it just that they don't have it in stock or don't carry it? That is the best material for the interior parts of a wallet and I use it for that all the time. I do however make my wallet backs out of 4-5 oz. veg-tan as has been recommended since the dawn of our trade came about. It makes a much more durable and long-lasting total product and with the veg-tan interiors it can stand up against anything made by a designer house or any other commercial item. Too bad that you can't get your hands on it right now. The Tandy here in Calgary never has it. They have 3-4oz but not 2-3oz. Maybe they'll get some some time... Quote
NVLeatherWorx Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 If you can't get it through your local Tandy store then you can get some from Springfield Leather. I get just about all of my leather from them as they are solid source for Hermann Oak and they have some unique cuts that you can't just get anywhere. I get the HO 2-3 oz. veg-tan bellies to use as my interiors because they are not overly large. Even though they are bellies they are very firm and work well for that application, and the best part is that they are actually a true 2-3 oz. consistently. They are also very affordable and easy to get. Food for thought if you are left hanging in the breeze on this. Have a Happy New Year and my 2015 be more prosperous than 2014. Quote Richard Hardie R.

Members grmnsplx Posted January 3, 2015 Members Report Posted January 3, 2015 So I am full of shit. After I read this last response on Wednesday, I went looking on the Tandy website and saw that they had some 2-3 oz Oak leaf (middle tier) side on sale. I went by that day for some mezza double shoulders (also on sale) and they did have some of that 2-3 oz ion stock so I bought a side. Time to start making some wallets. Regarding the OP. Inspiring stuff. Quote
