Many thanks to you both, but i doubt i will use much, I thought £6-7 per square ft was expensive

One of my dealers has some really beautiful hair-on pony that I've been tempted by, but I fear the same reaction. Spose I could describe it as nag hide...

In case anyone was still wondering, I split it with no problem with Cobra. Do not recommend splitting thinner than 3 oz b/c shell is very impressionable and the bottom roller might leave horizontal marks if you split it too thin.

Thanks for sharing.

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.

It's too expensive for me too. Took a deep breath before marking. Beautiful leather, and you can see how dense it is after you split it.

I did not split the pieces for the main body of the wallet.

So you went full thickness for the outer body but 3oz on the pockets? How’s it turn out? That’s still pretty thick.

I see many makers overseas get their shell thinned quite a bit and it just makes for a much sleeker look. I’m looking to do my first wallet too but have no way of splitting without send it out

I read somewhere (maybe Horween?) that horse leather comes from Canada and Europe (UK?) and is a byproduct of the food industry.  Americans don't eat horses.
