Hi Chaps,

Can anyone give some definitive information about where specific shoemakers source their calf leather from please, how old the calfs tend to be and which tanneries they use?

Co's of particular interest are :

Edward Green

JM Weston - ( have their own tannery, don't know where they get their hides from )

Jeffery West

Foster & Son

Crockett & Jones

Be a big help to know
