Anyone know where to get Leather Dyes and finishes? Either Fiebing's or Eco-Flo.

Fiebing's does not ship directly to singapore.

Anyone kind enough to advise where they get their materials other than leather & tools?

Thanks!

My brother has bought Eco-flo dyes and finishes from Tandy. Shipping was about $30 including the leather he bought.

Any tips of how to soften veg tan leather? I read that some use Lexol, any one recommend this and know where to buy from? Other suggestions welcome too.

Hi

Thanks!

Does he order directly or goes through a courier service like comgateway?
When I tries to order, it changes to australia currency and the prices are much more expensive.

I was watching youtube and other sources they say Neatsfoot oil or mink oil will soften the leather. I'm not really sure as I've not tried it.

Singapore actually has one of the reputable reptile skin tannery. Heng Long. I don't know if they sell their alligator skin though. Try contacting them info[at]henglong.com

If you're looking for bovine, there's Malayan Traders in Geylang/Aljunied or Grand Leather near Paya Lebar. Singapore Shoe has stock of fanciful leather scraps in A4 size.

Good day
Where is singapore shoe located?

Anyone know where i can get good saddle soap for cleaning leather?

Singapore polo club sells saddle soap... but it's not cheap.

Cheaper alternative would be the liquid spray on saddle soap. You can find it in the shoe section in OG or Taka.

Should be easily fixed with Dunlop contact glue. Can get it from any cobbler :) I'm sure some hardware shop sells it too. Comes in a small tin.
