Some other leather suppliers I've had great success with have been 'OA Leather supply (some very exotic looking veg tan there especially Arif & Sons.) Rocky Mountain Leather Supply (for exotics and their selection of Conceria Walpier Buttero which I use a LOT for interiors.) Also there's District Leather Supply. I love their MPG line and use it a LOT for product shells. Some of it looks a little like Pueblo but the hand isn't so dry. Better oil quality keeping the color richer. I agree with your take on Buckleguy and go there for hardware on occasion. Have a great day. 🌞
DLS is favorite of mine. they helped my shoe craft and offer awesome selection of top notch goods. I have used RMLS as well and very unique finds there
Love it man! I am attempting to answer the questions I had when I was the newb. Hope it helps. Shoot me any questions or topics you may have I’ll try to put something together. I’m sure you won’t be the only one and if so, hopefully it helps!?!
District leather supply, Maverick Leather Company, Waterhouse Leather, Buckleguy, Rocky Mountain leather supply, Tandy leather, weaver leather…there are quite a few others but I’ve used these most and have had very good experiences.
Just about to start my journey into leather craft and got two shoulders 3-4oz and 2-3oz from Weaver Leather Supply. Have you gotten any leather from them? Though I’m definitely going to try Buckleguy for leather in the future since they are based out of Mass rather than Ohio like Weaver. Shorter shipping times. Great content btw, learning new things from you
Weaver is a very solid company. I haven’t purchased much from there but mainly because I’m a creature of habit. I just haven’t found as many places that offer the amount/quality and variety as my top two. My most popular/requested leather for my Etsy store is Horween Leather and Buckleguy has all the colors and sizes so it’s been perfect match for me..
@@reedyrivergoods I just crafted a leather lighter case to get my feet wet but I plan to make wallets mainly, also Apple Watch bands, and hopefully as I progress dog collars with leads and belts and eventually bags. I guess you could say a variety of things
Awesome… stay tuned I have belt tutorial and working on duffle bag pattern to get out there too! Good luck, let me know if you have any questions to get you going
Bought upholstery leather for a project that was completely wrong for application… oh well, looked nice in photos. This should help prevent this in the future! Thanks
Buying high quality leather. While learning stitching, stamping and general learning it’s just as fun with B grade leather. Cut out the very good parts better projects.
@@CoreyReed-od6dv especially with free patterns like lighter sheaths. Bank card holders. Key rings. You can make something with a bad bit. It’s not like a sell the bits. These are giveaways or for covering the lighters I use for leather work.

Rawhide is used for drum heads. You can wet it and stretch it yourself.ake a few primitive drum to sell to use up the rawhide.
It certainly wasn’t going to make a nice watch strap
Could you please make a list? I am having a bit of difficulty in understanding the names.

I bought a bunch of their random goat hides. Fabulous.
Bought upholstery leather for a project that was completely wrong for application… oh well, looked nice in photos. This should help prevent this in the future! Thanks
Been there some that… I did make some earrings from the leather which helped
Not a bad use!
Rawhide is a brutal place to start
Gotta have at least one good costly mistake in leather craft!
Whats your worst mistake in buying leather?
Buying high quality leather. While learning stitching, stamping and general learning it’s just as fun with B grade leather. Cut out the very good parts better projects.
Great place to start! I’ve had a few gems in B grade, lots of workable area

And at 9 euro a kilo (2.2lb) I bought 11 kilos and I even started a yt channel with my beginner things and sharing the mistakes I make.
Mistakes are what make us better… for sure how I’ve operated. Some really good nuggets on Maverick, super unique leather options
