Members HaloJones Posted February 2, 2022 Members Report Posted February 2, 2022 In which case I would call JT Batchelor in London, the don’t have a web site as such but they are really helpful chaps, a massive range in all prices i saw some nice brown veg tan when I was last there in lots of weights tel 02072542962 Quote
Members jcuk Posted February 2, 2022 Members Report Posted February 2, 2022 He are some places that may have what your looking for the first two i use a lot and cant really say i have been disappointed with what they send. Not sure about your budget, i know Abbey are going to raise their prices soon to view their prices you will have to create an account they don't hassle you. Metropolitan are good to deal with too very good if it is possible to go in person. https://www.abbeyengland.com https://www.metropolitanleather.com http://www.leprevo.co.uk Have used them for some things but never had any leather from them but prices seem good and have some decent looking deals in clearance. https://www.aacrack.co.uk Never used them but look like they have some nice leathers but something tells me won't be cheap. https://pittards.com Never used these but i have used Pittards leather sourced from Abbey nice leather. Other may have other places they can recommend and yes JT Batchelor Halo Jones has said are a great place to get leather from and other supplies from well worth a visit if you can. Hope this helps JCUK Quote

Look at the thread 'First Leather Hand-Stitching Needles?' $30 dollars to ship a pack of NEEDLES from Colorado to Canada!!! Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
