leather shop

[woodwalker]

does anybody know of a good shop (online or in south-east england) where I could buy leather for sheaths. On other posts, someone had mentioned www.leprevo.co.uk/ yet there you can only buy in sort of 8sqft sheets which costs a lot and is too much for my needs. Is there such a shop?

thanks very much,

How much leather are you looking for?

hi think its worth a phone call as whilst on the web site they only sell large quantities they also sell strips which are i think 6ins wide x what length you need

How much leather are you looking for?

enough for maybe 2 or 3 sheathes.

Thanks for the telephone idea - I might try that after the bank holiday.

I bought from LePrevo and I certainaly didn't have to buy such a large amount. Very helpful on the phone..

i bought veg tan leather from le prevo to make knife sheaths. they do small quantities if you phone them and explain what you are making etc..plan ahead for example if you need leather dyes or stitching thread then you can order it in one go and not have to mess about later.
