It was asked where one can buy thin leather for bellows; I must admit it has been a few years since I bought there, but Tandy shops did have it. These seem to be moderately common; however, maybe they have all disappeared since I was there.
It is likely to be a little thicker but I have bought old clothing and stripped the leather out of it. It takes patience but you can get real bargains in some high quality material. Likely items are long coats and skirts; a jacket can also yield large enough pieces but it is less likely. Conversely, good fabric is liable to last longer and be more resistant to rot, as well as being thinner, but I agree, leather does offer something special, and how many of us will outlast it?
