    Try and locate fabric stores that deal in decorator fabrics, especially the ones that deal with wholesalers/interior designers. Jo-Ann's, Hancock will not carry it. There are 2-3 in the Phoenix area that I know of.
    I can pay retail anywhere, so how's your service?

    Hi Royce:

    Try this link http://www.leatherfactory.com/ It worked well when LOML needed lambskin for custom lampshades. There may be a distributor close to you. Good luck.
