[@yuchenzhang5313]

Really great information. I just get into leather crafting and I bought leathers from both tandy and rm leather supply. I saw people recommend craftsman oak from tandy. I bought a 4-5 oz piece and it cost more than expected. I also bought a chrome tanned leather from tandy, but I did not make a craft yet. Two weeks before, I bought a piece called buttero from rm. It was insane! It has an unbelievably good smell and it is much easier to work with. I wish I have had this information before, saves a lot of money.

[@RoseAnvil]

I agree that leather smells amazing

[@OmegaSpecter87]

I thought "That's a weird looking bundle of leather". Then I realized it was the cat lol

I buy my leather from "The HideHouse" and "American Leather Direct".I do buy from "Tandy" once in a while! Thanks for the video.

For Sure. Thanks for sharing your leather sources.

I made my holster out of economy leather. It has a scar on the side of it. But I absolutely love the scar because it showed the life of that cow

you make so much sense people that have done this know how 1000 percent you are right on i always look forward to your videos ps made a harness for my cat but drove him crazy so back to a'natural

Really!? Send me a pic of it

[@franciscorogel2099]

No Buckleguy? OALeatherSupply is nice too. OA actually reviews leather and gives you you a better idea of a leathers finish, feel, temper, and waxiness/oiliness.

[@RoseAnvil]

I have a few videos that talk about those things and will probably be doing some more videos on that topic in the future. It's definitely good to know when you're first starting out.

[@franciscorogel2099]

Oh I know that you have. My point was simply to point out to other newbies that’s it’s nice to see actually videos of leather that you might purchase instead of 1 dimensional still shots online. Ian from OALeatherSupply.com does that, which I haven’t seen on other sights.

[@RoseAnvil]

Ya I’ll pin a comment to the top with some other people who sell leather

Thank you so much for all you split información.. and I just let you know I just started to follow your leather tutoriales so congratulations from Miami Florida 👍🏻 thanks

[@Kevin-oz9fw]

Could you explain when they create stitching lines you can either scratch a stitching line or grove a stitching line, or heat press a stitching line ?

[@RoseAnvil]

Do you want to know how they do it or why they do it?

[@Kevin-oz9fw]

@@RoseAnvil Why please. Besides a tool position line I assume the groove buries the thread more and like the groove the heat also creates a channel. But if not why and when would you use each? Love you instruction and just bought some leather from you source guide.

[@rhea1075]

I appreciate your advice, I’ve been working leather in quite a primitive way for a wee bit and it’s time for my tools to upgrade. I had been getting British made hand tools off of eBay, which is a great way to keep craft alive, but hunting for the keepers is time consuming. Anyway, thank you for the videos, although I now realize my own work is not nearly good enough...damn

Wait, did you say “ HERE” in Utah? First off Where’s Rocky Mountain and second where are you??? Lol I’m in Utah county so I wasn’t expecting to hear that.

[@commonpoppy]

Hey! I just found your channel and as a vegetarian that has been avoiding buying leather it has been really interesting to find out more about the process and make better decisions from now on. I was wondering if you have any video about the process from cow to leather? Is it always a by-product of the meat industry? Is there a breed of cows raised for their leather? Can you know how the cows were raised? I don't know if these are stupid questions, but I'd be interested in knowing more and I don't seem to find that info anywhere. Even shoe makers have told me it is impossible to know where the leather comes from. Anyway, great channel! Thanks for all the info.

[@Ray.J]

Any video with a cat in it is the better for it! Is the name Toasty because the color of his coat looks like a toasted marshmallow? BTW, I have had excellent luck with Springfield Leather Company in Springfield, MO. They will kindly send out catalogs but their website is pretty good. One of the things they do that many don't is cut certain leathers by the square foot. This helps if you aren't certain you are going to like a particular leather or if it will be suitable.

[@ndacosta11]

Great breakdown, I generally buy from Tandy and tried the China markets witch is hard to track. Thanks

I simply adore the passion you have for leather, I keep watching your videos and would like more, actually, more about the subject "jacket leather", from my broken English I got a nice idea on how to better check my "gear" and that's great, but how about analyzing e leather jacket and giving us more info about what to check and how? I have two Schotts, one is good, the other rubbish, a 30 years old Avirex sheepskin and the brother B2, but for my next projects I would like to have more info on the leather and how to check it's quality, thank you and keep up the great videos

[@RoseAnvil]

I am glad you enjoy the videos. I hope I can keep putting out some that are helpful to you. Maybe I could do a leather jacket. If I am able to get around to it, do you have any you would like me to review?

[@guglatech]

@@RoseAnvil well it would be nice to do the same kind of comparison between old jackest, like from the late '90 and today "stuff", the more I look at leather products the more I feel more happy in buying an old product and restore it rather than getting this today "jokes" again, THANKS for all the passion mate ;)

[@khaktus]

What if I want to make garments from leather that was produced as ecologically as possible (i.e. organic/sustainable/free-range farmed animals, sustainably hunted game) ... and I know this is quite a triggering and controversial question as such. Are there (international) suppliers? Price-wise manageable by amateur craftsmen? I would also prefer to avoid chromium, even if this is counter-intuitive for garments. Can this be done from reasonable veg tan + oil treated leather? Are there dyes, oils, balms, finishes that are natural based, minimally harmful and particularly wear-on-skin-safe?

[@marcosanchez9201]

I would suggest doing some research on veg and chrome tanned leather. Hand oils and natural sunlight might affect a veg tan steering wheel color over time in an undesirable way. Or you may like the custom look. Something to think about

[@sixoh_diesel5662]

@@franciscorogel2099 Thanks for the suggestion! I was leaning toward a tan or brown to match my interior and help keep the wheel cool in the summer. Maverick has some perforated leather that's got me thinking now too, though the scraps would be less desirable for other projects.
