Alisdair Report post Posted July 30, 2019 Hi guys, I'm looking for a few square feet of highland cow hide (with hair on) to make a sporran for a customer...I've seen there are a few places that sell whole hides, but I'm not looking for that much...any of you have knowledge of a decent source?

Handstitched Report post Posted August 1, 2019 Well, good luck with that. I had a quick look around , none in your area that I could see . Although theres one or two in Oz I noticed. Too far for you though. I am also looking for Camel hides here in Oz , I'd be happy with just a few off-cuts. We have heaps of wild camels in Oz that are culled because they are a pest in some parts. They sell the meat & milk, but I can never find out where the hides go , O/S I guess and come back as ex$y handbags . The hides are quite soft..... apparently Good luck in your search .

fredk Report post Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) This is an old thread. The OP has possibly not been on here since May 2020 In the interests of information: try IKEA. Not too long ago (last December 2020) I saw they were selling hides with hair on as rugs or chair throws. The prices and sizes varied from modest to ' no-way hosay!!'. Hides included sheep, goat, possibly highland cow and other types Edited January 28, 2021 by fredk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuludog Report post Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Yes, this is an old Thread, but perhaps this will be useful - Try https://www.jwoodleathers.co.uk They sell various types of leather and hide, including hair on cow hide. They also have a Highland Dress Department; sell offcuts; Fiebings products; and a cutting service Edited January 28, 2021 by zuludog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
