Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 15, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted July 15, 2017 Anybody wanna share where you're getting this? I got some from Roje, no complaints. And I bought some from another guy.. but didn't care for it. I don't know enough about every species of shark, or the myriad of ways it's tanned, to claim that wasn't shark, but I returned it (they guy was decent about taking the return, so I didn't begrudge being out the shipping charges). Seems like I'm seeing it at $40-60 per foot -- that sound normal? 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 Joon1911 Posted July 15, 2017 Members Report Posted July 15, 2017 Mostly I've purchased from Jerry Van Amburg, but next time I order, I'm going to possibly try either Maverick Leather or I've heard Lewis Leather carries good quality shark.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 15, 2017 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) HEY --- 'preciate the concise response. Any reason you care to give for switching? I don't see any listed at Maverick. Have you not ordered at Roje? I still have some black from there, if you care to swap a piece to compare? This is about 4 1/2 - 5 oz thick. The stuff I returned from a different supplier was about 2 1/2 oz (not the reason I returned it). Not mentioning that guy, since I can't really say the product was substandard, just that i personally didn't care for it. Edited July 15, 2017 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
