This may be a silly idea, but why don't you contact them directly and ask for samples?  http://www.chahinleather.com They do say they sell all over the world.

i'll try that but the only problem there may be the shipping =D

Just curious why you want leather from this company, i am assuming you are in the UK? Are there no tanneries or leather merchants in the UK that may have something you can use. Or is it a particular leather they have that no one else has.

With shipping and import duties on top, where i can i support UK based suppliers first after that European, North America, Australia and New Zealand. And if none of them have what i need i probably have to begrudgingly go to you know where.

It will cost you far more than the price they show. Shipping, customs, any taxes added. AND, if there is a problem with what you receive, there is all the hassle and cost of returning it. You are far ahead to shop as close to home as possible. And for the record, that company is in Mexico, not 'America'.

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

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

You absolutely WILL NOT save any money buying internationally. Look at the thread 'First Leather Hand-Stitching Needles?' $30 dollars to ship a pack of NEEDLES from Colorado to Canada!!!

au contraire; last December I saved about £300 on buying a stock of leather from the US rather than the UK

it's about £200 for a veg tanned dyed side in the UK. in the US it's £88 as long as the shipping is less an 112 i save money

You still have to figure in import duties and anything else your Govt adds.

Yeah that's true 

[tsunkasapa]

My State adds sales tax to not only the price of the item, but taxes shipping and handling as well. I order from out of state when I can. If you haven't looked at them, three suppliers I like are;

Maverick Leather Company – Your Leather Supplier     They say they ship worldwide

Montana Leather Company - The Best Online Leather Store      

International Customers: International orders will be shipped via USPS, unless an alternate method is requested. Orders will be processed on the day of shipment with confirmation of the shipping charges.

International customers will be responsible for duties & taxes based on your individual country. And for Canadian customers, note that ground brokerage is not included.

Oregon Leather Co. – Portland and Eugene's premier leathercraft and leather supply store.    Good people, good products. But I have no idea of their Intl shipping, I generally go into the store when I'm down to Portland.

Yes, the shipping cost between the US and Canada has become bizarely obscene.

All while the same item ships from China to Canada for free.

Repeat after me several times: it has nothing to do with Chicoms bribing our postal officials into ruining our small businesses.

But if you looked for crazy-expensive shipping, check out Italy to Canada!

Was that because of the stupid mainland to NL border checks, if so hopefully that maybe resolved with recent events, interesting times a foot at the moment me thinks to keep an eye on.

Thats why i suggested to get something closer to home because the leather merchants have already imported it for you yes they may charge a bit for that, hell Tandy ripped people off for years this side of the pond when they had shops charging Pound and dollar like for like here, did nobody think to buy off Tandy USA of course they did but import duties, shipping put paid to that me thinks.
