Members RStevenson Posted June 6, 2015 Members Report Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I was thinking it would be helpful to have a list of leather suppliers and their websites for people to easily refer to. Hopefully it can be stickied if possible. Most of my knowledge is of north american suppliers so feel free to include more and I can add them to the list. Horween (USA) - http://www.tandyleather,com, http://www.tandyleather.ca Springfield Leather Company (USA) - http://springfieldleather.com/ (phone orders recommended) Buck Skin Leather (CAN) - https://www.buckskinleather.com/ Tundra Leather (CAN) - http://www.tundraleather.ca Abbey England (UK) - http://www.abbeysaddlery.co.uk/ A.A Crack and Sons (UK) - http://www.aacrack.co.uk/ Edited June 6, 2015 by RStevenson Quote

Members SissipahawLeatherCo Posted November 25, 2015 Members Report Posted November 25, 2015 Zack White Leather (USA) - Large selection of every kind of leather under the moon, often stock Horween brand leather, lots of tools, dyes, hardware, and more. Colorado Leather Goods (USA) - Great source for deer skin and elk skin at excellent prices, large selection of beads. With both companies it's best to call in your order as they are slow about updating their website inventory. Quote Julia Sumner Owner Milestone Leather Taos, NM
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 26, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted November 26, 2015 http://www.goligerleather.com/index.html H.O. leather, quick http://stleather.com/ online catalog is about useless, but the leather and service are good Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members nrk Posted March 15, 2016 Members Report Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Because it's rarely true. so, you state that there is a difference between Tannery Row (the original) and the Maverick? how is it possible? don't the original source, in the meaning, provide A grade or the best? do they fool the buyers with the poor quality items?

Matt T Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 so, you state that there is a difference between Tannery Row (the original) and the Maverick? how is it possible? don't the original source, in the meaning, provide A grade or the best? do they fool the buyers with the poor quality items? I would guess there are some first grade items that end up at Maverick because they are a custom run that ended up with a color that wasn't quite right, for example. It's a gamble though, because it's hard to know the real reason why they are being sold there - something like loose grain might not show up in the pictures. Quote Leathercraft supplies

bikermutt07 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Anyone dealt with these folks? http://www.brettunsvillage.com Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Got burnt on what is advertised as sole bend but turned out to be what I call linoleum leather -- hard rolled leather with a thick painted tan surface. It was so-so thick and quite pliable. I didn't return it because I never return, and will not return. They come off like huckster used car salesmen and that turns me off. I just let greed get away with my better judgement that time, knowing full well that getting high quality sole bends at 1/2 - 1/3 normal retail is about as like as _________________________ [insert your favorite impossible analogy]. Surprised that nobody has mentioned this tannery, one of the oldest and best quality in the US (among the top three I'd say): Wicket & Craig -- Gorgeous leather. Unlike Horween and Herman Oak, you can buy direct from the tannery and there isn't (or wasn't) an order minimum. The downside is they do bidness the old fashioned way, phone calls and sales people are slow to get back with you and they're slow getting your order out, It's not that they are incompetent, they just like doing business like they have been doing since the 70s. I'm just guessing that Old Man Whomever dictates that and the heirs are chompin at the bit to use those new fangled online ordering systems. Edited October 5, 2016 by cseeger Quote

They admit they have nothing to add, but feel the need to comment anyway. I don't let it 'get to me' too much, but I'm never likely to grasp why, when someone ask a question on a forum, some feel teh need to pop in to say "I don't know". By the way, where is Tannery Row? Up the street from Skid Row, maybe? 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.
