Hello,
One of my customers, who, like you, restores cameras and is a member of this forum, suggested that I leave a post here to let you know that I have a supply of composite leather sheets available on ebay which are great to cover camera bodies.
I have a variety of textures and colors in several quality grades. I also have sheets of Skivertex, also available in a variety of colors and textures. These are not listed on ebay yet but are available on demand.
You can check out my listing here:

Feel free to contqact me if you have any questions!
Thanks! |

Thanks for that information! Good leather camera covering can be hard to find.
One thing that is critical for camera applications, and that I don't see mentioned in your listing, is the thickness: generally for cameras the leather must not be thicker than .02 - .03 inches (I think this corresponds to about 1.5 - 2 oz. in leather gauge). How thick is your material?

I'm the guy that suggested it, Rick (although I suggested the restoration section). These are sheets that are almost four times the size of the stuff cameraleather sells and they are very thin, about the thickness of a playing card (but not stiff). They don't have the stickum on the back though. I just used a piece of a sheet of dark red to cover a Bessa. |

Hi Rick,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will add the information in my Ebay listing.
Hi Charles, thank you for answering the question for me! :-D
FYI, skivertex is about the same thickness as the composite leather. |
