Hidalgo Report post Posted February 29, 2012 Hi, Trying to find a supplier for some Ritza 25 Polyester thread, sometimes called Tigre Thread. At the moment Abbey Saddlery in the UK is not stocking the 1.4mm size that I need. The maker, Julius Koch, is not replying to emails at present. I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of an alternate supplier for the following : Ritza 25 100% Polyester Thread, Colour 7 (Mid Brown) 1.4mm wide manufactured by Julius Koch Gmbh. Best wishes, Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best wishes, Peter Hi Peter, I use the Ritza 25 / tiger thread in 1mm and 1.2mm and Abbey is the only place I know of that stocks it in small quantities in any size occasionally it does come up on ebay but I've never seen it in 1.4mm there, Julius Koch is unlikely to get back to you unless your after a large quantity. I've been trying to get colour charts from them for the last ten months without any luck. These threads are pretty similiar to Ritza 25 (Zircon, Serabraid & Mox), I've used the Zircon and Mox. http://www.mrechtonline.com.au/cgi-bin/collab/app?pg=list&zc=no&in=138&st=65&pc=10008&op=shop&zz=1544 http://caudwell.co.nz/braid.htm http://www.amann.com/en/industrial-sewing-threads/serabraid.html http://www.amann.com/fileadmin/pdfs/naehgarne/infomappen/info_serabraid_gb.pdf (Has colour chart in it) http://www.paskal.com.au/index.php/products/Sewing-Thread/Saddlery/Mox/details Hope this is of some help Cheers, Clair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidalgo Report post Posted March 1, 2012 Clair, A huge thank you for that information. Exactly what I needed. Best wishes, Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cem Report post Posted March 2, 2012 Your welcome Peter, if you get some Serabraid I would love to know how it compares to Ritza as I believe you can get custom colours from them which I might need in the future. Cheers, Clair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamekeeper Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Hi, Did anyone use the alternatives to Ritza? I'm looking to produce sewing similar to the heavy duty / western styles. Many thanks Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
