Please don't post direct links... ;D
I'm looking for sources of good quality garment leather, probably from 2oz to 6oz weight. If anyone on here has personal access to the same I'd like to talk to you. Please PM me with details. I'm up for trades but I'm more interested in sources.

Here's an example Pat, $13.50 with shipping just takes some searching
-
Pat, you should check out Clydes booth at the classic if you can wait that long. I got some really nice buckskin from him.
-
I sent you a pm Pat with some great information. Patrick

Clint, I did check out Clyde's leather and it wasn't what I was looking for. I did buy a half hide from one of the other venders next to Clyde. He had 2 half hides and I wish I had bought the other one too or remember who it was.
Eddie, does Hobby Lobby have full and half hides or just scraps?
I got the PM and will answer them. I'm getting back into doing some leather work so I need a reliable source. I checked out Crazy Crow and Moscow Hide and Fur(both PA sponsors) but would like other options.
Thanks guys. I'll check out the sites that were PMed to me.

Pat, all I saw was scraps at Hobby Lobby.

Have you tried Tandy Leather?

Hey Pat, Tandy Leather in Charlotte NC and Zack Whites Leather in Ramseur NC. Both have tool and garment leather. I have been to Tandy but not Zack's place. I have heard Zack has a lot of leather for sale. They both have online websites I believe. You can also purchase leather tools from both.
-
Type in upholstery leather on eBay and you will find a bunch.
-
Becks leather and craft. In west Jordan Utah. Hobby Lobby has scraps, and you never know what you are gonna get. Tandy has anything you want, and if you are going to buy in bulk it may not be a bad idea to buy their gold membership, otherwise it is really expensive.
-
Pat,
PM me your number and we can talk.
-
Thanks guys. I'll check our all these websites.
I'd like to get samples so eBay probably not an option for me. Heck, I've never bought anything off of eBay.

The leather guy on flea bay has nice leather.

Ebay can be addictive; I can drive all over town looking for for something, lately it was a #47 bit for building my latest flintlock, no go here in town. I got on ebay and had two at my door in a couple of days for $6. I have done this hundreds of times, from 36 grit sanding belts to Nicholson #49 rasps (got one new, American made for $20 shipped free).
I can spend more on diesel fuel looking for something for my shop than the cost of the item so I turn to eBay.

Moonshine leather in Nashville Indiana or I think they call it k bellum now has anything you need. I used to make a lot of trades on here buying leather for folks from there.

Lietzau taxidermy in Minnesota. They have buff, deer, elk, bear.
