Leather supplier

[Timinwales]

Hi
Apologies if this has been asked before, but does anyone have contact details for a good quality leather supplier (reasonably priced to boot) ?.
The nights are starting to draw in and I have been looking for a possibles pouch for a while that does'nt cost the earth so I'm thinking I should have a play and make it, along with belt and a new sheath.
Worst case I muck it up best case I end up with exactly(ish) what I'm after, and having seen some of the really smart stuff made by some folk here, and read some of the adviced and info posted, well it would be rude not to try.
Thanks Tim

I agree with Mike. LePrevo are probably the best in this country for leather and associated bits and bobs. Great customer service and very helpful on the phone.

Le Prevo-
Would not go anywhere else!
Mind you, thats ok for me to say as I just need to pop into town when I have the spare time.
It's a fantastic little shop. It really is like something from a Terry Pratchett novel and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible!
You go in to the place and it's like a tardis!
The staff are always helpful and pleasant but perhaps more importantly, know what they are talking about.
The 'waste bin' is a delight, in that, just like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates; 'you never know what your going to get!'
No I dont have any connection with the place! I just love it and would recommend a visit, even if you live a good way away. If you cant make it in person, then they are good over the phone too.
My worry is that small set ups like Le Prevo are disappearing.
Really highly reccomended
R.B.

Le Prevo

Le Prevo are the best - but I'll post a link for a cheaper LEATHER (as in not all the equipment and brass bits) supplier off the bay tonight when I get home - worth a look for cheapy bits.

LePrevo are pretty good for the leather itself, but also have a look at Bowstock for tools as in some cases they are cheaper than LePrevo and they have no minimum order IIRC.
