Hello

uff, I didn't expect it to be that difficult to buy kangaroo leather, lace and rawhide here in Switzerland - but after all, it seems to be quite a challenge - or I just didn't find the contacts I was looking for.

Packers would ship worldwide, but they are out of stock of k-Whip leather.

Is there a member here from europe who bought kangaroo (k-Whip quality) leather from abroad? do you know suppliers I could contact?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thank you - Jari

Have you thought of buying a whole hide and cutting your own strings?

Yes, I'd love to buy the whole hide. Talked to Swiss customs already and they asked me about the latin name of the kangaroo (because of spicies that aren't allowed to import) but since I don't have the supplier who understands these questions, I'm lost :-(

Thank you, that looks good! Where would you buy the hide from in Australia (laces are not cheap here either, bought some feet, not much to complain, except for the price if you need for several reins)?

One good place to buy pre-cut rolls of lace in Australia is wingarra leather - they buy their hides from packers....

Usual sizings are 10m hanks and 100m rolls in 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm and 4.7mm. Wide variety of colours.

I'll check for a contact other than a phone number(not sure if they have email).

Cheers!

Hello

unfortunately, now news from Packer about availability of K-Whip-leather :-(

I try to find another source for drum stuffed roo leather and hope, someone here can help.

It should be a supplier that supports overseas shipments and can handle the required documents.

Found here and over internet search MidWestWhips and Richard Taubman (http://members.hn.ozemail.com.au), both sell Packer K-Whip-leather.

Who would you recommend? Need about +10 hides.

Thanks a lot!

I don't know if Paul at Midwest Whips exports hides but he probably imports over 100 a month. He is great to work with.
