  1. Hi I'm looking for a suplier in the UK for 18/7 linen thread has anyone got any ideas? Tandy .................no Abbey Saddlery...no Le Prevo..............no The above do not stock this item...HELP! Thanks Django
  2. Well hi! and thankyou for the warm welcome! I'll check out the suggested links . Please continue the thread if anyone comes up with more advice. Does anyone know what weight and cut of leather would be best for a supple pair of step in shotgun chaps?
  3. Hi, i have just joined the forum and am slowly finding my way around. I was wondering if you could give me some advise on leather to use for authentic late 1800s chaps and gun rigs. As i do not know the terms used for leather work yet, please bear with me if i ask basic questions!! I have copied a lot of pics' from Ebay items so i know what i would like to make, (just utility items) . I have never done leather work before but have done some tailoring in the past . We do have a Tandy outlet in England ...but compared with the States they want £s for $s almost twice the price!! I have spent some time with a saddler here in England and he has advised me on some basic tools (awls, needles etc)that i have now purchased. Can i purchase just the awl blades somewhere in the US as the one i have is a bit to broad. I am having trouble finding a supplier for waxed linen thread in the UK, 18 3cord etc, is there someone on the forum from England who might help out with this? If not I may have to buy from the US, any suggestions? Thankyou in advance for your time and help. Jump to folder: Inbox Sent Items
