If you get a good HP side they are great for tooling. If you can afford 5 or 10 hides depending on type of leather they are worth it IMHO. WC has some nice leather, I prefer there skirting leather split down to the thickness I need. what's the difference between WC tooling and skirting that you order ? what's a trick about? )) Quote

I personally think it tools and molds a little better but honestly both are top notch. I like the skirting in the russet color which is about the same color as a nice sun tanned vegtan. Not alot of steady sunlight up here in the northwest except a couple months in summer. Compared to most leathers you get retail even the lowest grade WC that you get is still pretty nice. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 15, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted July 15, 2016 W/C has nice leather. There's no difference in the tannage between the "skirting" and the "tooling". HO does the same thing, they sell "strap", "tooling", and "holster", but its' the same leather. The guy who first posted is in PA already, which I would consider a no-brainer. I really like HO, and use a good bit of it, but if I lived where I could make it an afternoon trip I'd be at W/C a LOT more often Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Members uknative48 Posted August 9, 2016 Members Report Posted August 9, 2016 I have yet to find anyone better for "English" bridle than Wickett & Craig. I'm now living in the UK and afraid it will be cost prohibitive to import. Quote

Members fivewayswelshcobs Posted August 9, 2016 Members Report Posted August 9, 2016 I agree with Matt after all we are the home of English bridle leather- it says it all in the name. Quote
Members CaptQuirk Posted August 25, 2016 Members Report Posted August 25, 2016 I also need a new source. Anything near or in Georgia? Quote
