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?

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.

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

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.

If you click on the link, there is what looks like a lab pup sitting on a hide. Sorry.

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

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.

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
