Where can I buy leather?

Martyman - 1-13-2009 at 12:49 PM

I'm looking for a leather store or tannery to make my own leather products (not that kind you pervs!) Maybe get some exotic reptillian or shark skins too. I will be headed down as far as the BOLA cutoff this April. Anyone know of a tannery or leather wholesaler?

Patricio in Bahia makes fine leather products. He buys his material in Ensenada. If no one comes along with an answer, maybe you can talk to him when you're down there. He may have something for you, or can tell you where to go on your way north.

I'm going to have him make me a pair of chaps this summer.

Oh boy. Can't wait to see this.


OK...Back to serious stuff. There's a leather supply on Macheros in the 400 block, south side of the street. At least, it was there last time I looked.
On the map, which I hope I'm including, it's between the well-marked BUS STATION and the water, one block over from Sin Street, Calle Miramar. If you see Fishbuck wandering around there, send him home.

I see lots of leather on the side of the road.

Thanks Dennis. I think I may stop in at that place to pick up the leather I want Patricio to use, instead of hoping he remembers to have enough on hand.

Set up your catwalk for the August debut of my chaparreras.
