Leather sourcing (Patreon)

Was able to stop by a large leather store yesterday. A bit of a hike (3 hr drive) but we were in the area anyway. 

Looking at using real leather for Ratchet's gloves, since they need to be flexible unlike the foam I'll be painting for his leather boots and cap etc. 

This place had way too much to look through. A huge shed/storehouse filled with rolled leather from floor to ceiling. I was able to get a sample of the color I thought matched the best. I just want to make 110% sure I am happy with the color since this stuff is pretty outrageously expensive. $180 per piece give or take (about 2' x 5-6'). 

I'll do some comparisons and see if I like it. Probably wont be buying it soon, need to save the funds first.
