Members Hooper26 Posted November 9, 2015 Members Report Posted November 9, 2015 Where would I buy chrome tanned leather, similar to the kind that Saddleback Leather uses? I've searched Tandy and Springfield's websites and I don't see chrome tanned leather for sale. Is chrome tanned leather sold under a different name? Thanks, Andrew Quote
Members grmnsplx Posted November 9, 2015 Members Report Posted November 9, 2015 Check out their "utility"/oil tanned leathers. Some of those might be similar. Saddleback often lines their items with pig skin. Tandy has lots of that too - chrome and veg. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted November 9, 2015 Members Report Posted November 9, 2015 Suggest you call Springfield. They are super helpful and friendly. Quote
Members Hooper26 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 9, 2015 Is oil tanned leather and chromed tanned leather pretty much the same thing? Quote
Members Tugadude Posted November 10, 2015 Members Report Posted November 10, 2015 No, not necessarily. Check out this verbiage... Quote
Members Weaver Leather Supply Posted November 10, 2015 Members Report Posted November 10, 2015 We offer chrome oil tan leathers as well. Go to www.weaverleathersupply.com and check out our "Chap Leather" selection. Most of those are oil tan. Our 09-1006S-BR Bark Brown side would be a good fit for what you are looking for. PM me for wholesale account information or if you would like for me to send you a sample. You didn't mention a weight, but that side would be a 5/6oz, and we offer a very similar color in 6/7. Let me know if you have any questions. Quote
Members grmnsplx Posted November 10, 2015 Members Report Posted November 10, 2015 Is oil tanned leather and chromed tanned leather pretty much the same thing? When I say "oil tanned", I mean oil treated. In general "oil tanned" leather is actually an oil treated chrome tanned leather. Quote
