Looking at picking up some stitching thread for a wallet from Maine Thread Company. In particular, their Waxed Polycord. They offer the following sizes:

.020" ultra light weight polyester cord, 1 ply waxed. 210 feet on 2.5" tube.

.030" light weight polyester cord, 2 ply twisted and waxed. 210 feet on 2.5" Tube.

.035" light-medium weight polyester cord, 3 ply twisted and waxed. 210 feet on 2.5" Tube.

.040" medium weight polyester cord, 4 ply twisted and waxed. 210 feet on 2.5" Tube.

.045" medium-heavy weight polyester cord, 5 ply twisted and waxed. 210 feet on 2.5" Tube.

.050" heavy weight polyester cord, 6 ply twisted and waxed. 210 feet on 2.5" Tube.

What size should I get?

Cheers!

I'm not used to the sizes that you are using I would use a 346 weight that I think is about .6553 to a 415..07118 It depends as to how you want the stitiching to stand out. The 346 is about the smallest I would use. Of course here you could ask ten different people and get as many different answers. Rob
