Very Curious on what kind of leather you guys buy from Tandy. Saddle Skirting??? If so there's a few different kinds. Just want to make my purchase a good one.

depends, i usually buy a full 13-15 oz hide sometimes the scrap 13-15 oz leather. or the belt blanks, thats usually a good way to go if you need small plates made, cause you can just cut the belt blanks into proper lengths

belts range in width from a half inch to 2 inches, maybe some thicker.
the scraps come like for some cheap price, like 5 bucks a lb or something like that. your problem with scraps is if you use thinner pieces of leather you must layer them over other leather to make the the minimum thickness reqs.

There is a leather store in Illinois street called Landwerlen Leather. They are a specialty leather store whose prices blow away the disgustingly overpriced Tandy. Tandy will BANKRUPT anyone who uses them regularly. Just saying... ;D

I'm a big fan of landwerlen myself. they sell pieces that are just the right size for individual armor pieces at very reasonable prices. They've always been really helpful with any questions i've had and even give discounts on occasion just because they're entertained  |
