Warning: that 'simple' headband repair on a 1920s leather binding

Thought it was a two hour fix, but matching the grain and dye took three full days. Anyone know a good source for thin, flexible calfskin in a deep oxblood color?

Three days for a headband sounds about right. You start with a "simple" fix and suddenly you're a chemist trying to match a hundred-year-old dye. Good luck with that oxblood hunt.

Wasn't there a place in New York that specialized in that?
