Doesanyone have a good source of high quality leather for interiors?  I am also looking for an idea of the cost that would be reasonable for this material per sq ft.  I am aware that there is quite a range in price depending on grade purchased but thought for top grain someone here would know.
thanks

Give Danny a call at 1-913-8845930 tell him tom swayne told you to call him. I have used his leather in 3 cars now. Was aroung 150.00 a hide, which is really cheap for the stuff.

The leather I purchased for the last car came from Larry Dennis Supply Company (LDC)....I looked in my messy desk but couldn't come up with the contact info....They are in Texas.The quality was excellent,the hides were very large and although the price wasn't as reasonable as the fellow Tom suggested....I thought it was fair....around $200 a hide as I recall.Good Luck!

It is really important that the leather comes from a country that has open range "no barb wire fences" you will loose alot if the hide is scarred up. Dannys comes from England and Italy. First class stuff.

Tom,
I talked to Danny today and he has a sample in the mail to me tonight.  thanks very much for the lead.  As soon as the sample color arrives I will give him the "go" if it looks right.
I will keep you informed
Thanks again
