I'm looking for 0.2 oz veg tanned leather. Tandy Leather does not really have 0.2 oz thickness, at least not any good selections. The best I can find is about 0.4 oz, which is far too thick for the inner pockets of a wallet (what I'm trying to make). Does anyone have any suggestions of where to look?

I think you are looking for 2oz, not 0.2. ).2oz is the thickness of paper....

Try some of the other suppliers advertising on the top of the page. Tandy is not known for the best leather at the lowest prices...Or good selection.

It would help to know where you are from, as we are a global community and leather supplies vary greatly around the globe.

Do you have a bookbinder supplier near you? They usually stock (approx) 0.8-1mm leather.

I am fortunate in having J Hewit & Son 5 minutes down the road from me. I have been able to buy lovely fine veg tan leather scraps from them. Mainly goatskin, and pigskin, and pre-dyed, but that's the only source I've come across.

Oh, of course, I was not thinking correctly. I mean 2 oz. I think I was getting it confused with .08 mm, which is a different measurement. But I'm from central Texas area. I'll have to see if I have a bookbinder supplier near me. Thank you!

I just purchased some veg sheepskin (1.5-2.5oz) from tandy. I intend to use them for wallet interiors. I am not sure how well these will work though. It's more of an experiment.

Tandy gets mixed lots of goatskins in every now and then. In the mix are a few veg skins. Keep your eye out for those.
