(Guess you didn't care for my automotive leather being faster joke. :) )
I did visit a large leather shop here a few months ago, but at the time they had no veg tan leather. That was Cuir Boilard. They did have a good selection of other leathers though as well as quite a collection of remnants which they were selling reasonably. I bought a few (haven't used yet) but I really wanted veg tan in order to wet form some pouches. I'm still working on those (prototype after prototype) and I'm getting better all the time. And learning a lot about working with leather (I'm really a complete novice with leather).
Someone told me about another even better source but they don't sell online and they're way the heck out on the east end of the island of Montreal and I'm on the west end. And with our current construction "season" I dread having to drive out there so have not yet. I'm going to wait until something else brings me out that way. The name of the place is Di Zazzo Leather.
In the meantime I've been buying some veg tan leather in different weights from Tandy Leather.
Cheers!
