Where do you buy your leather?

[Oregon Bill]

We used to have a Tandy outlet here, and even if prices were a little high, it was nice to be able to take a pattern down and sort through the chunks of vegetable tan to find a good piece. Looks now like I'm going to have to buy over the Net, or on out-of-town trips.

I get mine from Golliger Leather. They're a good outfit and their leather is top quality.

They'll ship it right to you.

I'm also going to "sticky" this so as pards put their contact information in, it will be available for quick reference.

Oregon Bill, I just found this place in Eugene and bought alot of stuff. They have more than Huff's ever did. Does your interest in leather mean your getting ready to start Cowboy Action Shooting in Ashland?

Tandy Leather has a pretty good sale on right now for 8-10oz stuff. I bought 15.6ssq-ft of shoulders for $3.99/sq-ft.

The local shop I go to has a pretty good assortment and will order up what they don't have. They also give me internet prices on the spot if I bring in a printout from the website.

Hola Guano: Sorry to take so long to see your post. Yes, I hope to show up at the Ashland club heeled here before too long. That's assuming the Ashland club ain't so full of floodwater that we'll have to make it a bass club instead!

I too prefer Wickett & Craig.

I almost always use Weaver.  Good selection .... nice double bends in 8/9 oz.  Good quality custom strap cutting.

I've heard a lot of good things about Weaver. have not bought from them yet, but probably will in the future. The variances in the hides from Tandy is signifgant, some carves like butter and in 6" you can barely scratch it. And if you don't prepare for dying there is no telling what color it will come out, very inconsistent.
The down side is I really like to put my hands on the hides and make my choice.
