LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted April 13, 2020 Very good article, and there is definitely the market for the skins. I sometimes nip into Hewitt (the bookbinder and material supplier based in Scotland), and the boss himself was telling me that they have their goatskins imported, because there just wasn’t anyone locally tanning them.

toxo Report post Posted April 13, 2020 My go to leather shop has small size skin bin which I love to delve into, could be goat, calf or sheepskin size. All different colours and reasonably priced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
