In need of new leather for my IIIg

[lxmike]

Well the Vulvanite is a bit crumbly in places on my IIIg so l am after replacing it, l have replaced vulcanite before but many years ago, is there anywhere in the Uk that sells leather kits for the IIIg. Thanks in advance for any help🙂

I've been using Hugostudios.com

But he is in the USA as well as Cameraleather.com

The Hugostudio stuff is really nice. I wish he did a sharkskin version - it's so much grippier than the standard pattern (wouldn't be correct for a IIIg, but I'd happily put it on mine just for the grip improvement).

Another vote for Aki-Asahi.
There's always that hard choice to go with the orginal style vulcanite texture or go with something more functional or flashy. 🙂

Hugostudio.com is the place to go.

Good selection and predictable turnaround times. No risk of having to wait around for weeks or months before your order arrives.

Re.: http://www.hugostudio.com/

The website no longer exists. Out of business?

My bad. The computer must have been acting up. I found the site.

i just received the 4040 from aki-asahi for my Ig. not installed yet, but the texture is very nice. it looks near identical to the original, but has a better feel.
