Fixing to have to order leather. Settled on either RJF double shoulders or W/C russet dyed skirting. Roughly the same price. Which should I order?
 
If your tooling Wickett and Craig. They do beautiful leather processing.
 
Have not gotten to try RJF yet but have used WC for a while now and never had any complaints. Its good stuff. From what I have heard of RJF leather you cant go wrong getting either one.
 
I tried RJF Leather last week and was very pleased. So pleased that I called them and told them I'd never seen such a nice piece of leather. He shipped it right away and said send me a check. Great guy as well as great leather.

Had a similar experience a while back; I have used it exclusively on my last 10 or so sheaths. The RJF leather is the cleanest I have seen in my very short sheathmaking carreer.
 
I have leather from both sources in my shop right now and I am using both. My preference goes to Wickett and Craig. Their drum dyed colors are more to my liking and there is a slight finish on The RJF that I do not like at all. I have most of my leather split at the tannery and the splits are superior from W&C with regard to split thickness as ordered. The RFJ seems to tool, carve and oil adequately as does the W&C. Then again after 5 pus years of doing business with W&C, maybe I'm just set in my ways.;)
