I was wondering what type of leather is used for fringe? If anybody knows of the type and weight. Thanks, Diane

Personally, . . . I prefer to use the "extra" pieces from the exact same hide that I did the project with. That way, the dye is predictable (if you are dying it), . . . the color matches, . . . and overall I think it lends a bit of authenticity to the creation.

I have cut fringe from 5/6 oz suede, . . . on down to verrrrrrrrrrry thin stuff. Just depends on the look you want, . . . the product you are making, . . . and the service required. Obviously, sleeve fringe on a Harley jacket is going to be more demanding that fringe on a white, lambskin clutch purse.

These chaps went from leg leather to fringe, . . . with the cut of the knife,. . . 4/5 oz suede.

May God bless,

Dwight
