Members moscar80 Posted March 3, 2018 Members Report Posted March 3, 2018 Hello Everyone, I'm looking for various pieces of exotic leather. I'm a fledgeling watch strap hobbyist, looking for pieces of 1 to 3 square feet. Potentially scraps if 1 inch wide and 6+ inches long. Open to just about any exotics, or bison, shrunken grain leather, or anyhting interesting and with a lot of character. Feel free to get intouch on here, or email directly at moscar80@gmail Thanks!
bikermutt07 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 Maverick and Springfield Leather carry a healthy assortment of exotic scraps. 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 moscar80 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks for the tip. I havent looked in a while, as the last time I checked with Maverick there were very little scraps that ended up being usable. I'll give them a shot again.
bikermutt07 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Posted March 4, 2018 Yeah, after posting that I remembered seeing they had sold out of a lot of that stuff. But I'm sure they get more from time to time. They usually have the bison though. But that may be full sides. Springfield keeps a healthy supply of stingray. Tandy has also had bison scraps for sale recently. I'm not sure if it is shrunken grain or not. They also had some moose last time I visited. But it was tumbled and fluffy. Sorry, I couldn't be more help. I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!!
