hard to believe.

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?

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.

I buy tooling leather from Paul Patricks, so far it is cheapest in the UK, most affordable and very good quality leather, here is the copy-paste from e-mail I have received from Paul.

Delivery is very quick and I know he even sends leather abroad (Russian, Europe, USA). He also has English Bridle leather at very competitive prices.

Leather description and prices as discussed.

I have.   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.

Just had a look at Acadia's site and man they have some good deals on really decent leather.  Looks like odd lot stuff like Maverick deals in.   Definitely checking them out come ordering time.  Suprised I've never run into them...Must be a new outfit?  Anyways, thanks for the referral.
