Members castor Posted January 13, 2015 Members Report Posted January 13, 2015 Hi, I was wondering if somebody could recommend a supplier for english bridle leather in Canada, specifically ontario or at least nearby. I've been able to find a few places out west to order from but the cost of shipping doesn't really make it cost effective. I've also looked at American suppliers nearby but with the American dollar so high it ends up being more expensive than shipping a side from out west. I would be a really big help if somebody could recommend a supplier. Thanks! Quote
Members Colt Hammerless Posted January 15, 2015 Members Report Posted January 15, 2015 Wickett and Craig has a distributor in Canada. A quick internet search only pulled up this. Just a phone number with no website info. Wickett & Craig of America - Markham, ON, Canada | Yelp I saw more contact info in an issue of Shop Talk magazine maybe a year ago, but I don't have it handy at the moment. Paul Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted January 15, 2015 Members Report Posted January 15, 2015 Castor, where are ya? Might be worthwhile calling Tundra Leather, Hamilton, ON Quote
Members truenorth Posted January 15, 2015 Members Report Posted January 15, 2015 Where in Ontario are you Quote
Members HBARK Posted January 16, 2015 Members Report Posted January 16, 2015 You could try Aaron Martin Harness in Wallenstein. I just got some bridle leather from them and it was a nice piece. They sell retail and wholsale. Their number is 1 800 367 0639. Quote

I'll try out that number today. I'm in Toronto. I've emailed with Aaron Martin and Tundra Leather, Tundra doesn't have any bridle leather in stock and Aaron Martin only has black right now. So I think I'll try out that Wickett & Craig number from Markham and report back. Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted January 16, 2015 Members Report Posted January 16, 2015 Looking forward to hearing more. Quote
Members castor Posted January 18, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 So I called the number a few days ago and got the answering machine for a company called Kitro Corporation. So the listing is wrong, which is sort of disappointing. I've decided just to order from Wickett and Craig in the states because buying a side of their best quality leather, shipping it over here and converting to Canadian dollars, it still ends up being cheaper than buying lower grade bridle leather in Ontario. Its too bad because I would like to support local business and not wait for shipping but the price difference is just too high. Quote

Members Basically Bob Posted January 19, 2015 Members Report Posted January 19, 2015 Have you looked at Longview Leather, Calgary? Quote
Members castor Posted January 19, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Have you looked at Longview Leather, Calgary? Yes, the price of shipping makes it impractical for me. Edited January 19, 2015 by castor Quote

I called Tundra last week and they don't have a lot available due to some project demands and the Canadian dollar tanking so I am limited to Tandy in Mississauga right now. Great people there but the leather hasn't been th best and they are renovating right now which has left them lacking space. Quote
Members Shyla Posted May 23, 2015 Members Report Posted May 23, 2015 You could try Perfect Leather in Toronto Quote
