[doggydoggen]

Hello, Calling from Sweden, I have bought a Harley Davidson seat from US, and it is made from a leather that i never seen befor, i have googled for days to find out where i can buy similar leadher, because i want to make a passenger seat in the same style

i hope someone can tell me what leather i have and where i can buy it?

Regards Doger.

I have asked almost every human in the world now.:), nobody seams to know what leather it is, my personal thinking is antique shrunken bison or Elephant, maby Hippo?

anyway, if someone have a similar leather on the shelf, i buy it and will pay good.=)

and if someone wondering what cheekbone, I think it is Red Fox?

I'm thinking its elephant or rhino.

If it is, unfortunately you'll not be able to get any and use it legally

The only real way of finding out what animal its from is by doing a DNA test on it. Do you know anyone at a university? they often have people working on DNA and could test it as part of their learning

Thanx for reply, yes it is a very strange looking leather, it will probably be impossible to find, it is like antique looking, if it is elephant, you can buy it legally from Tanzania,But not Rhino, i don't know if i feel comfortable to buy either of the 2,  maby if i find old used leather.
