3 rivers has them but they are vinyl - yecc. Trap who posts on here has some real leather and someone else does too. Perhaps they will see this post.

You can cut it out with a razor plade and straight edge, round the corners, and rub the lines with a hard plastic object that will produce a straight line.

They are very easy to make! Take a look at bd's 101. 3 R's are a very poor example and not worth the money other then as a template.
