Members 1CJK Posted March 3, 2017 Members Report Posted March 3, 2017 Where can you buy a Hermann Oak veg tan side with out the belly in a B grade 7/8oz with no minimums? I don't see them sold like this online at the common retailers but I see people talking about getting them that way. Is there also a term for this kind of cut? Im reposting in this section because I originally posted in another that I didn't think it really belongs. Quote

Members 1CJK Posted March 3, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 3, 2017 Ok. I'm fairly new to the craft so don't really know what all the cuts are called. Are all "backs" considered in the industry as the side without the belly? Quote

Members 1CJK Posted March 4, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks for the helpful replies. I called Wickett-Craig yesterday and talked to a gentleman there that was so helpful and very knowledgeable. He spent 15-20 mins on the phone with me explaining all the different leathers and cuts available. I got a price for there top grade back slit to 7/8 for around 185.00 + shipping. He is also sending me a bunch of samples in the mail. I had already ordered two single shoulders of a craftsman grade Hermann oak for not much less than what I was quoted for the top grade W-C side. I will definitely be ordering from them in the future. Quote

Also HO is price comparable if you can swing the minimum and order from the tannery. Lol Edited March 4, 2017 by Mattsbagger Quote
Members 1CJK Posted March 4, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2017 It's the minimum witch is going to keep me from buying directly from H/O. I just don't use that much at this point to buy that much at one time. Quote
