Leather suppliers, anyone know any?

[trsleigh]

I'm making a side chair from Fine Woodworking http://store.taunton.com/onlinestore/it ... 11223.html
and need some leather ( 24"x24" ) for the slip seat cover.
Does anyone know a retail supplier, preferably West London area, or mail order that will do small areas of leather?
I've Googled upholstery suppliers, craft supplier etc with very little success. J. A. Milton was about the only site I could find and from them it would cost approx £60 , so I was hoping to find one or two other suppliers for price comparison.

You could try http://www.acasmithleathercraft.co.uk/ or a Google search for "desktop leathers."

Hi,

Have a look on Ebay, I got some suede for my dining chairs very cheap.

Hello there

These people,

appear to do whole hides only, but they might be able to suggest somewhere.

Cheers

Try leprevo, can be found on google. Based in Newcastle, good service.

I would phone Relics. Their website is a little "simple" but they are very helpful on phone or in person (they are local to me). Their leather bit seems to have a separate domain here.

Good luck,

Boz

D'oh, can't believe I forgot to try there.
There was one person on Ebay selling half hides at £49 but only in grey. However he suggested Yarwoods and they are suppling a small hide for £63 all in.

Anyway, thanks for all the other suggestions.
