Suede Splits
I have looked at my local Tandy for two years waiting for the correct dark brown to come in to finish my Strider jerkin as seen in the films. I recently sent a swatch to the Hide House which will hopefully end with the correct type, color and amount I need. That being said does anyone order from anywhere else online that would sell suede and sell it internationally?

Can I have the pup? No wait, the other two may object and torment the poor thing.

I have no idea what that refers to. LOL Over my silver-haired head.

I've used a number of Ebay dealers over the years. I've gotten so great prices but you can't be too single minded as to color or shade. If you want a list just let me know and I'll add it here.

Re: Suede Splits
Thanks for the link. I'll take a peek there if the Hide House doesn't stock what I need.

Do you not have the dyeing skill?

Re: Suede Splits
Not looking to die. I travel too much, I'm a get it done and move on. I respect people who take the time to do that crafts but it's not me. I do what I need to.
I've found some other sites that could also potentially have it, I have swatches coming.

Re: Suede Splits
Thanks for the website info from earlier. I got a sample of their stuff, its the right color but too thick. I think I may have found an ally on ETSY who can help there

Re: Suede Splits
Any chance you'd share the Etsy seller? I'm always on the lookout for good leather resources.

If she can get me what I need in the correct weight and shade then will do.

Re: Suede Splits
The stuff has more red in it the two brown samples I need but she's sending me a swatch and maybe it will be workable
