Pig Suede for lining boxes

[Glynne]

I'm just coming to the end of a hide I bought from Andrew Crawford for lining a jewellery box but noticed that Andrew isn't selling any more at the moment.
Any recommendations for a supplier please?
I'm currently using sueded which is about 0.65mm thick so anything around that will be fine.

PS I know there are lots of suppliers on eBay, just wondered whether anyone had any experience of them

i got some on ebay from a seller called bel-fred. i think that i may have used him a couple of times actually. He had retired/semi retired and was selling off some stock. It may well all have gone now though because it was a while back. That said, might be worth a message, you never know. I havent measured the thickness, but it was nice and must have been a similar thickness.

Thanks Mark.
He has nothing advertised at the moment but Ive dropped him a line anyway.

Have you not tried flocking Glynne? Although you may prefer the real thing?

I bought some leather from these guys in the past, but it looks like their MOQ might have gone up.

I've used this supplier before (but not for a few years) - they were excellent and worth a look.
