I'm after some supple tan coloured leather

[Dreadhead]

Hi folks,

Most likely a shot in the dark here, but I'm desperately in need of some tan/light brown coloured leather, supple enough to make a few drawstring bags but not too thin either. I often just buy the odd hide that I like the feel of here and there for my pouches and use them up, but I suddenly can't find any good tan skins at a good price anywhere (without buying a full upholstery hide) and need some for an order.

Does anybody either have something suitable they are willing to trade or sell, or can point me in the direction of a decent supplier? (I've also searched ebay thoroughly and can't find anything that suits) Cheers

I have a few upholstery hides from a very well known manufacturer but they are red, purple and an aqua green.

I have some smallish bits of tannish leather - from old leather jackets - how big do you need the pieces?

I haven't yet, I keep meaning to give them a ring and ask for some samples but have just been too busy travelling around for courses. Time to get my goaty rump in gear I think!
