·9 months agoI currently find anything I need in the USA...and thus currently only buy in the USA.
One has to do more searching to find what you need in the USA which is OK to me.
Unfortunately(Fortunately?) International buyers are still buying from me...😆

I'd be wary of leathers from China. Possibly having excess amounts of lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury as well as a host of other noxious ingredients from dye etc. that may leach out with skin contact.
I work with leather on occasion and will only use leather from the US or Europe if direct skin contact will be present with use.
I will use some foreign exotics (if legal) but always line them with veg tanned US or Europe sourced leather as in the case with knife sheaths for example. Even then a creating a barrier with the appropriate adhesive between the two leathers. Never on the surfaces that will rest against the users leg or come in contact with skin on a regular basis.
