DoubleAdobe Report post Posted December 5, 2010 I know western buckstitch is hopelessly out of fashion, way too old school to be cool, but I am out of it for the first time, I guess since the 70's and much to my amazement, nobody seems to carry it anymore. I see some 3/16 inch Florentine lace, and they say they have it in white. I have used this stuff in brown and black and it is a way different tannage than the old 5/32 buck stitch. I stil have requests for belts and wallets and occasionally to relace a saddle or something and can't hardly believe something as prevalent as this once was is gone. I guess my age is showing again, you guys know where to buy some or is it really extinct? Oh, I just can't make myself use the plastic coated-bonded stuff, either, sorry for the griping.

DoubleAdobe Report post Posted December 8, 2010 I thought Tandy still carried it, but wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong Nope, just the 3/16 Florentine lace. They have it in white, but it's not the old buckstich lace . Maybe gone forever. Thanks for answering though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this and wondered myself about availability. I did online search and couldn't come up with anything in 5/32 width. On a lark, I went out to my work area and dug through my lacing box as I seemed to remember having some white latigo buckstitch lacing from way back when. I found the spool, it's an old Tandy labeled spool back when they sold under their own label. Anyway, I measured the width of the lace and it was 1/8" rather than the 5/32" that you refer to. It's literally been decades since I purchased it so can't remember if there was more than one width sold back then or not by Tandy. Anyway, white latigo lacing in 1/8" width is still available if you can make that work. Best of luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy P Report post Posted January 20, 2011 You might check out Leather cord usa on the net, they have 3/16 5mm lace in white for 50 meters for $54. I haven't ordered from them yet, but I have gotten some sample pieces and they seem to be okay. Billy P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
