SmokinP Report post Posted December 27, 2008 I've had good luck using products from Weaver Leather. Not sure about their retailer requirements. A lot of my training gear is from Weaver because it's always been sturdy and reasonably priced. Only problems I have ever had is their stuff is built heavy duty and takes a while to get broken in to the feel I like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntex2000 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Try Beilers in Pennsylvania. They build tack to order. I wouldn't outsource anything to Mexico. Anytime I've come across Mexican tack or saddlery in a saddle or tack shop its been absolute junk...i.e Buffalo Saddlery. At one time, way back in the forties and before, there were some fine saddle makers in Mexico. My advice would be that if you want to sell your customers the lowest quality tack available to human kind then by all means, outsource it to Mexico. Here is Beiler's contact info: Beiler's Mfg. & Supply 290 S. Groffdale Road Leola, PA 17540 Phone: 717-656-2179 Fax: 717-661-7228 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyc1 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 No, I think you can get lower grade leather products from India. Absolutely terrible!!! There is a lot of it floating around Australia. Tony. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
