JLSleather Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Looking for something with teh marbled look -- like you'd see in horween or a pullup leather -- but in a veg tan that will wet form. ?? Checked about 20 places with no luck. Only need enough to do a knife sheath for a fella, but I'd take a bit more if I could find it. Not interested in a side, but might be willing to buy a bend or double shoulder if it was nice. Something in gray - blue - slate type shades? In about a 6, 7 or 8 oz (though I could live with a 5) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Something like this would work, if it was either veg tanned in 6-8 oz, or if it was thinner I could glue it to some veg tanned ... this is the approx color and effect I want. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Oxford-XCEL-Blue-Ink-Pre-Cut-12x-24 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stetson912 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 I'm stumped. All I found was these. https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/view-all-leather/products/pueblo-veg-tanned-leather-1oz-1-2mm-made-in-italy https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/view-all-leather/products/waxy-veg-tanned-leather-4-5oz-1-8mm- Both a bit on the light side andnonenis waxy. District leather supply had a small piece of the Pueblo in heavier thickness in a gray color. But I'm unsure about the streakiness from the picture.

Matt S Report post Posted October 29, 2018 How about a piece of Horween Round Up? It's a veg-tanned horse leather in about 10 colours and has a great pull-up effect. A bit thin and floppy for a knife sheath on its own but if you line it with some stiffer veg it's make a very striking knife sheath. Only problem is it comes as a double horse front (about equal to a double shoulder), which is probably more leather than you want to buy for a couple little jobs. You may be able to find someone who will sell you a smaller piece (likely for 4x the $ per SQFT though). http://www.aacrack.co.uk/tannnage-ranges/horween/horween-round-up.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted October 29, 2018 13 minutes ago, Matt S said: Horween Round Up? Nice looking stuff, and that IS the marbled look I'm interested in. A bit thick, though, by the time you glue to something else it's a bit much for this knife (blade about 4 1/4"). Marking them for later, though 2 hours ago, Stetson912 said: I'm stumped I was there first That first link looks nice. This is basically something I'm doing for a guy who ordered something ELSE and who was so durn friendly I agreed to make him a knife sheath too. He isn't too worried about beauty, just wants his knife protected while brush stomping. Between that and the marbled handle, got me thinking "pull up" leathers. Sheaths aren't my "thing", but it's a case for a nice knife belonging to a nice guy, so ... Nice lookin' knife, so gonna give him something he can actually like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does come in a 3-4 oz and we will cut whatever sqft you would need. We will however split it down more if you need. I am not sure how thin we can go on that though. Hopefully this helps some.

JKHelms Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Acadia Leather has some nice distressed and pull up leather at reasonable cost. I buy some from them for wallets and bags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young gal just told me that on the phone, too Sad part is, I could have PAINTED a piece of HO and been DUN by now Keeping this stuff in mind, though, as well as the glue that girl was telling me about for use with oil tanned leathers.

JLSleather Report post Posted October 29, 2018 weird - not getting it now. Got it for several days -- even when logged in it would divert to that page and ask for login. Recognized my login, allowed me to put stuf in the cart, then would ask me to login even though it showed me logged in (?!@#). Tried it both ways, using links above, seems okay now -- logged in or not. Latest version of Chrome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't think of why it would do that, because we don't lock our items to those who are only logged in. Thank you for pointing out so that we could look and see if it was on our end. It is much easier to fix problems when we know what they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I click the link above https://www.springfieldleather.com/Oxford-XCEL-Sides-London-Green it DOES go to that page.

JLSleather Report post Posted October 30, 2018 Alrightey, then ... I was logged in, and got the error. Must not have logged off. Not sure why it would send me to the logon page when I AM logged in. But when I log OFF (or out) then the links DO work and I do not get redirected to the logon page. Incidentally, give that kid I talked to yesterday a raise.... (drat- still better at remembering a girl's voice than her name). Her knowledgeable and honest answers to my questions talked me OUT OF buying that little bit of those leathers - wasn't the right call for the job - but likely results in LARGER future purchases from us.

I will keep an eye on it. I still can't reproduce this action. That is good to hear about your call in. I will see if I can't find out who took your call.

CNHLeather Report post Posted June 24, 2019 Sorry to jump in on the thread but I've been trying to research SLC's Oxford Xcel. What tannery makes it and is it similar to Horween fixing to start working on leather again and have always had good luck ordering from SLC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikesc Report post Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) The problem comes from the quickspark system that they are using.. in the page code / site code it is this area .. "/Springfield-Quickstart/Denali-Quickstart-test/"..it is "fixable".. if SLC are monitoring this thread..? they ( their webmaster / webdev ) should deal with it..the site is "set up" in such a way as to "break" their site, from an incoming customer point of view. HTH :) NB..I'm not looking for "the gig".. Edited July 11, 2019 by mikesc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
