Leather Suppliers - Recommendation?

[Kal-El]

Hello all! Could a few of you please recommend a reputable leather supply house to me? I am also in need of the basic hand tools to get started. So, one place (site) that has everything would be great. I have done some searches online, and as with everything, there are too many to choose from, and I don't know which dealers are good. I'll be a novice at this, so I'd like to buy from someone who can talk me through purchases and be willing to steer me in the right direction.
Thanks so much for your help!

I have spoken with them a few times and they are very helpful.

And burried in that link somewhere is this tutorial link. Good stuff can be found over in the Makers General Discussion forum.

Tandy, Springfield Leather, Wickett & Craig are widely used among sheath makers.
