Where can I get a leather hide perforated?

[Steve at Silverstone Fabrics]

Hey Gang, I just had a friend to purchase several Spinneybeck hides from me and he wants to use them in his car.

I know the leather (black Sabrina....prime time leather) is going to work great but he needs to have it perforated.

My background was commercial upholstery and I do not have any idea where to look for a perforation service......but I knew one of you would.  Thank you in advance for any help in finding a company that performs this service. Steve

......one more thing. How much can I expect to pay for this type of service? Are there different patterns (I'm betting so)? Thanks again. Steve

Rick, Thanks for the help. I called them and I was told for the standard GM perf, it would be $1.60/ft2 and because I wanted to use my on leather, their would be an $85 up charge.........so for a 50ft2 hide, the charge would be $165 ($80 for the perf & $85 for the up charge) plus shipping charges. WOW! I had no idea that it could be this much.

Spinneybeck perforates leather, probably less money too since its their leather.
