Hello there, I am looking for some one that knows something about different types of leather so i came here.
Now what I am makeing is lacrosse leather (hopefully you atleast know what lacrosse is) as you can see by the picture below
Now as you can see the four black"runners" that run down the lacrosse stick is leather this leather needs to be 8oz thick and i will probaly cut the leather myself. Now why am i here? because i want to revolutionize the game.Ok maybe not revolutionize but i want to offer something different to the lacrosse market so my idea is to have waterproof lacrosse leather that still feels like normal lacrosse leather. This has been done once before but all it was was normal lacrosse leather with wax coating but this coating has a wierd feel to it. so i need waterproof leather and make it still feel like normal lacrosse leather
Normal lacrosse leather is Vegatable tanned, chrome tanned or alum tanned but these arn't water proof
So what i need is a type of leather that is water proof and has to "feel" like Vegatable tanned, chrome tanned or alum tanned by feel i mean have similuar strech and consitancy. it also has to be durrable and 8oz thick (give or take 5oz) for further information you can read this article http://laxallstars.com/traditional-thursday-truth-leathers/ I did some research and i was thinking latigo leather but im not sure hopefully someone can make a suggestion Maybe this is unanswerable maybe im an idiot oh well only youre answers will tell
(if you can sell this leather to me or know where i can get some im willing to buy)
