If there's a tack shop or saddlemaker nearby they are usually happy to give you scrap or sell you suitable lengths or 5-8 ounce unblemished grain leather. Or, at least, such is my experience with tack shops in the US.

Buying quality leather online is like getting a mail order bride,you need to go look at the leather,inspect it,feel it.

I bought some Latigo online and it was definitely nice enough for strops, have you tried searching for that instead of veg tanned cowhide? May give you more options.
