Great advice! I wish I knew about the panels when starting. My first purchase was a half side, it still sits unfinished at my storage 😂. I've been looking for leather suppliers in Europe lately, so if you or anyone else know good stores/tanneries (preferably online), I'd be happy to check them out! Cheers!
Great video, very helpful. Strange that not many leather workers mention Springfield leather Co. I use SLC for everything. You can purchase leather by the sq ft. Or side, or roll. They have a good supply of imported and usa tanned Herman Oak leather. I’d like to try district leather supply someday, but I mostly make belts, and tool my pieces. SLC is perfect for what I need
I just heard of them a couple months ago and been meaning to order from them. Been interested in using Herman Oak. My opinion alone, but I think there’s a big hype on using US tanned leather such as Herman Oak, Horween, and Wickett and Craig. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I have heard and read great things about Vachetta leather from Italy and W&C version of it. I have not used it though. Good video idea for another time.
I’m watching great content
Thank you!

Wish I could give some direction on a EU supplier. It can be tough starting out and just buying blind. Thanks for watching!

It's actually "Acadia" not Arcadia leather, out of Maine. I've had good luck with them for bag leather.
haha thanks, Acadia is correct. Getting it confused with a neighbor city.
i have the same beanie in black, anywho i hear leather from Leon, Guanajuato mexico is really good too
Need to look into that and try out some Mexican tanned leather.
Maverick Leather in Oregon is also good for Horween "seconds", and they sell W/C.
Good to know! Haven't heard of them. Thanks for sharing!
How about Vachetta leather?
