Source for milled veg tanned leather

[Hailey]

Hi all you lovely informed leather workers!

I am new to leather crafting, and have been getting really into carving and tooling. I really like the suppleness of milled leather for the kinds of bags I am using, and just wondering if anyone has a source for this kind of leather outside of Tandy.  The leather I've gotten from Tandy has been nice, but I would love to find a more affordable/wholesale place to purchase, or just any alternative.

Any leads or information would be wonderful!

Thanks!

Hello Hailey and welcome to the forum!  The Hide House in Napa, CA carries sides of it.  You might be able to buy it direct from the Wickett and Craig tannery as well.  They will do special orders and will sell you just one hide too.

Maverick Leather Company is selling sides of dry milled Hermann Oak for $95/side.
