Quality Leather Suppliers

Hey everybody,

If you're willing to share, can you drop a note below on where you purchase leather from? I'm interested in high quality calfskin, bull calf, and goat. Prefer vegetable tanned but not opposed to chrome.

I like in the US and buy a decent amount of my supply from RM Leather. However, I find some of their prices to be too high and am looking for hides/skins that are a little more luxurious or different from what they sell to a lot of us in the US. I've also used a few hides from Wickett & Craig here in the US but I'm looking for more supple and pliable hides than what they provide.

I've purchased a few hides from BuyLeatherOnline.com and am curious if others have purchased from them, and what your thoughts are on their quality is. So far, I've purchased Saffiano, Epsom, and a couple of leathers @philipjury linked in course supplies. However, I'm not sure if their quality of leather across the board is good or not.

I have samples coming my way from Remy Carriat for bull calf. Haas refuses to work directly with me (they want me to go through RML).

For those of you in the US and Europe, where do you turn for quality hides? I'm willing to spend for more luxurious or high-end hides, but am just not quite sure where else to turn. Any help or insight you all have would be greatly appreciated.
