mikesc Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 Seems ( reading this and other threads ) like the OP ( and all subsequent comments by the OP) was mostly about dissing Springfield..Seem to do that a lot ( dissing Springfield ) ..( in fact dissing pretty much anyone from the local hairdresser on down ) in many threads ..rather than just buy from HO..and re-order from them when stock is getting low.. 20 hides ( restock when down to say 5 ) is not that much to carry , space wise or money wise ) if business is good..For a hobbyist though it would be overkill. Btw..your caps lock keeps getting stuck..reminds me of a very similar guy, posting style, outlook etc ( Bob ) over on "the register" ( IT site ) theregister.co.uk..needs to chill, fix the caps lock, ( the shouting in the head and on the keyboard ) ..only takes one little blood vessel to go to be drowning in medical bills.. IME, buying direct from tanneries, ( I do also buy "wastage" from LVMH etc, and trawl the brocantes etc for snake and other leathers for upcycling ) and the occasional "unusual" lambskin from Italy.. saves time, money, and any potential stress is mitigated.

My last three orders of HO sides were as advertise grade A. Its a premium price but you get what you pay for. Very friendly people and they have a close relationship with HO so they are able to satisfy there customers. Please give them a call and ask them about HO. No answer just now, but it's early west coast time. Still -- "A" grade leather, I can get just one side if i want, for $9.50-ish is the best deal I've seen in a while IF IT IS "A" grade. Pic links to the site, if you're interested. I havent' seen leather from there in a few YEARS, so not [yet] an endorsement. "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.

JLS, whatever the issue is, I've finished on this topic. I truly hope you find satisfaction and I mean that sincerely. When things take a personal turn, it is time to fly.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 7, 2020 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 7, 2020 Carlos gonna send us a replacement for the piece of 3/4 oz. A little more money, but worth every penny when your reputation is on it. We've ordered from Goliger Leather Co. before, good while back, but got another track for a while there. Bill the card, put it on the truck TODAY. That alone is worth $50 "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 KJD2121 Posted February 7, 2020 Members Report Posted February 7, 2020 Well, please post photos of it when it comes in. Thanks from a newby who doesn't know what good leather looks like outside of Tandy.

Northmount Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 This rant has gone on long enough. I'm getting complaints about these types of rants, so lets keep it down a little. This thread is now locked. Tom
