Leather / Suede hides?

linzibean

Ok, so I've had a request for a coat and ideally they want it in leather / suede. Marvellous! I've only done a little leatherwork so it will be fun....

Basically I need several meters worth (about 5 i reckon) of hide to make the coat, all a uniform ish colour (deep tan brown / chocolate) preferably a soft suede like deerskin. Where can I find this at a decent price in the UK?? its diving me bonkers!

I have bought from here in the past. Very very good quality.
Remember to bear in mind that cheap suede /leather can often be quite poor quality.

Hope this helps and good luck with what you make
