Looks like they have what I might want as far as weight and color, thanks! Sent them an email to see if I could buy some samples. Quote
Members mwsbmatt Posted February 3, 2017 Members Report Posted February 3, 2017 i bought some horween seconds from Mavrickleathercompany.com beautiful stuff!! check them out they have various colors all the time and the 3-5oz I bought is very supple, and soft.. but when you sew it together it does gain a rigidity that bodes well for these. I just made a few and I am 100% sold on this leather for all wallets now.. Quote
Members ArtisanOCL Posted February 7, 2017 Members Report Posted February 7, 2017 Orion Calf Ltd. sells genuine French calf (3-3 1/2 oz) and European baby calf (2 - 2 1/2 oz), chrome tanned aniline, ships from USA. If you want a consistent high quality product as used by top fashion brands, this is the real deal. Quote

European style, American made I suppose is what I'm shooting for. Lightly pebbled/textured, nice bright colors (along with the standard black and brown). I have respect for the tan* spectrum of tanning, I understand it has it's place in the high end market as well, but it's very traditional and just not what I'm wanting to work with. I will be incorporating titanium and real carbon fiber "leather" (that's what the call it) into my designs. I'm going for super modern and super clean looks. I do appreciate the help from all of you thus far! Maybe someone can help bring this in for me for exactly what I'm looking for. Right now as I said, I'm looking at using Acadia Leather https://www.acadialeather.com/ (anyone have any issues with them?) and maybe Waterhouse Leather (http://www.waterhouseleather.com/pebble_grain_cowhide.htm). Check out rocky mountain leather. They are in the usa and carry high end french, american, and italian leathers in amazingly brilliant colors. Badalassi carlo pueblo (italian) and Alran chevre chagrin sully (french) are both excellent. Goat skin I believe. Many high end products you speak of are made from leathers like these.
