I thought Herman Oak Leather (http://www.hermannoakleather.com/) used to list belting, but I don’t see it listed now. There is a list of their distributors; one of them may be able to help you out. McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com sorry I cant figure out how to link right to their products) lists round leather for drive belts in diameters from 1/8” to 3/8” cut to length, they also list several kinds of flat drive belts in various widths, thicknesses, ply’s and materials including leather. Hope that helps some.
