I've ordered a couple of their elk hides but I had a big issue with the sueded side of the commercial hides transferring lint as it were on everything. Clothing, car seats, etc. Their German tanned hides are probably the nicest that they offer and is sueded on both sides much like braintanned. It's also pretty thick which would hold its shape pretty good as well. I made one with rawhide reinforcing the top and bottom of the quiver to help maintain its shape better. The rawhide on the top is outside the quiver with the top edge rolled over and stitched below the bottom edge of the rawhide at the top of the fringe to keep it from falling out.

 Part Time Archer, a little something to think about, I think your leather should be soft enough so that when you bend over it kinda collapse and hold arrows from falling out, Just my .02 worth. Bob
