AA Crack and Abbey England are often recommended as leather suppliers in the UK, but they don't publish prices on their websites Instead you must mess about phoning, or registering, and getting samples and quotes, which is tedious I see this as a hangover from the secretive and restrictive practices of British Industry I've looked at Metropolitan Leather's website a few times, and their stuff looks good, even more so now that I've watched this video They have a sale on at the moment (04/04/20) so I may well buy from them in the near future They also sell Osborne tools at reduced prices
If you want to order from AA Crack just write an email. Just make a list of all the leathers you are interested in. They usually answer quickly. Normally they let you know the price per square foot and on the website you find how big the leather pieces typically are. So you more or less know what you will have to pay in the end. I have ordered there quite a few times, because otherwise I don't think there is another supplier in Europe where you can buy Walpier, Badalassi or Horween. - But of course Metropolitan is a very, very fine leather supplier, I like their leathers a lot!
Thanks for posting this! I was wondering how this looked.
Brian Hill I know that. Therefore I plan on posting things like that in the future.
