Members nrk Posted March 30, 2017 Members Report Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Friends.I'm in need of "3/4" oz WC ENG Bridle leather in all 6 regular colors (Black, Dark Brown, Med Brown, Tan, Chestnut, Burgundy), but not hides, bellies or sides - usable 24x24" or 30x30" (inches) pieces without belly part. I guess not many of you would have those 6 in the mentioned thickness, but could be 3-4 colors as well. Any support on getting this highly appreciated and receives + to the karma )) suggestions or tips are welcome nrk

Members OLDNSLOW Posted April 6, 2017 Members Report Posted April 6, 2017 Your bio doesn't list your location! And you might try SLC, SCL anyway you get what I mean they might have stuff that small, or I think I read that they are now offering some is sizes that will work for you. And your location will help if there is someone around you with a splitter that can help you out?

The only way to get those items either from WC directly or Buckleguy (they have 3/4 and 8/10 oz WC leather) or people who use such thickness and mentioned type.
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted April 8, 2017 Members Report Posted April 8, 2017 Well, I've got some dark brown but I'd say it's about 4/5oz and not 3/4. I did not buy it directly from W & C; I bought it off a guy that SAID it was W & C though. I haven't used any of it, but it seems like nice enough leather. I have had some heavier W & C dark brown, and it had a little different type of finish than this leather has. If you are interested, I guess I could sell you some. If you want a picture, I could get one for you. Busy days here these days and I don't set by the computer all day so it sometimes takes a bit for me to get back to people. If you want to "click now" and have it in three days, I'm probably not your guy (gal actually).
Members leathersmyth Posted April 9, 2017 Members Report Posted April 9, 2017 You are going to have a tough time finding 3/4 oz. 40 years ago it would of been much more common to find thinner weights in english bridle. But with so many tanneries closing and limiting to what they produce,makes it harder to find the thinner leathers. Years ago i came this close to getting a splitter that did a whole side. They decided to keep instead of selling. But the reason it would of been sweet was because i would of then been able to get a heavier side and split to what i wanted. As is, i can split 14" and get the same thing,but it sure would of been nice to be able to do a whole side instead of being limited to 14"...... One option is if you get a drum load done at tannery,then you can get what ever thickness you want. But you will need to buy alot of leather if you go that route esp.with all the colours. 60 years ago we could order a drum load of what we wanted,but times Have changed to way back then.... All you can do is check with all the suppliers, and see if off chance someone has a job lot of english bridle to sell..... There is a supplier that i have contacted that gets a lot of leathers form europe. I am waiting to hear back from them to see what they can come up with. I use a lot of 3-5 oz in cases i make up, and always looking to find. Would not be wickett but if english bridle...... also, what kind of footage are you after? A bundle? 1000 feet? or a hide of each colour?

I just thought I'd offer it to you if it was what you were looking for. I stock between 50 and 100 sides at any given time, but I don't typically sell leather unless it's in a finished product. Eventually, it all gets used. I do hope you find what you are looking for.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 10, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted April 10, 2017 YIKES.. at $22/foot, that better be some SWEET looking leather (like not all those wrinkles shown) and I would have to need it real bad! Nobody around you with a splitter? I can probably find pieces around here big enough - I'll check shortly - in dark brown and med brown, no belly leather. But it's about 9 oz. "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.

No, I don't think that is sweet - just a regular standard grade from WC. That's the hardest part - unlikely no splitter available.. Maverick leather is selling currently some Special grade WC bridles. Will give them a call.

Members MarcinB Posted April 30, 2017 Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 Hi. If you want I can get some from Europe, Sedgwig endglish briddle butt mini they are approx 120x60cm each. Got acces to splitting machine, that split whole hides. But shipping from Europe. To USA I use 2kg packs, each costs 17USD.(I guess 2-3 hides of your size will fit into one)

It will take a lot time to get new leather samples, redeveloping products etc. - a mess ))
