bikermutt07 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Ed in Tx Posted April 16, 2017 Members Report Posted April 16, 2017 I have purchased elephant hide for far less than $75 a sq. ft. Elephant hide is readily available at the Boot and Saddle Makers Roundup in Wichita Falls usually for $40 sq. ft. at the high end. You can purchase pieces as large as you want and some vendors have smaller pieces as well. Last October I purchased a couple of really nice pieces for $25 sq. ft. One was about 60" long and about 10" wide for $120 the other was around 3 1/2 sq. ft. for $130.
Members PhillyRock Posted April 20, 2017 Members Report Posted April 20, 2017 I purchased the #2 lot from this gentleman and here is my testimony: Messages were answered quickly, Payment was easy, Communication was clear, Shipping was prompt, Quality was far better than the photos give credit for. This gentleman even included a hand written "thank you" note reminiscent of better times when deals were honored with a handshake and people were trusted without hesitation. Buy with confidence and your elephant will look much better in person.
