Default Where to buy black leather for my dash?

I found a ton of leather hide suppliers online, but none of the leathers are smooth... I want leather like this...



Can anyone refer me to a supplier?

Call and auto upholstery shop, they should be able to source it for you, or at least tell you what you are looking for.

Yeah... i can't find any good ones around here... last time I tried an upholstery shop they made everything lopsided.. I confronted the manager and he pulled a sketch out of his desk saying "well that's how I sketched it, see?" as if that was a valid excuse for totally ****ing up my dash in my miata. Then I said "are you sure you wanna tell me this" and he got quiet and sat at his desk looking at the sketch while I watched him sit there, for like 3-4 minutes of silence.

Anyway, I'm gonna look around for tutorials and practice leather upholstery on other things before I do my car.
