Otherwise contact a local leather guy or sailmaker. I got some leather sleeves made at my local sailmaker so I'm sure your local one could help.

No problems ordering direct from Edson in the states. I have purchased quite a bit of gear from them. Service and quality is good.

Just realised I can get Edson stuff for good prices here in Oz.

Let me know what your wheel size is and I'll see what i can do.

Did you get sorted for a new leather cover? I recovered my neighbours wheel by buying a kit from a small company in the British west country. really nice company, it cost roughly 100GBP to buy the kit which came with pre drilled and pre cut leather in light grey (they do tan as well) it also had waxed thread and a needle with which to sew it onto the wheel
and instructions too.

I used industrial strength double sided sticky back tape to get the leather to stay in place while I started to stitch. it took about 3 hours to do.
