Looking for Grade D Latigo Sides

[HRW]

I am looking for grade D latigo sides. That is to say, sides with defects like brands etc. 

I usually purchase these wholesale from Weaver but they can no longer get them, hence I need a new source.  

Seems tanneries like Chahin would have D grades available, but not sure. 
 

Thanks in advance.

I get scraps from a muzzle loading shop in the area.  They sell them in bundles and they're generally scrap pieces.  If you find someone that caters to early American craft trades, that may be a good source.  I use them as sketch material for new holster designs to be sure I'm going in the right direction.

 My supplier is the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi, Ohio.  https://www.logcabinshop.com/

Good luck.

You might check out The Hide House, as they carry quite a range of latigo. With a request like this, best to give them a call. You might also try Maverick Leather, as they carry a lot of seconds.
