Wow!! thanks everybody!

Is poly and or bonded nylon strong enough to hold under extreme conditions? Remember this will be for my motorcycle racing leathers. I crash a decent amount, at least 3 times a year. The suit has to stay together under 40-80 mph impact and some 10-30 ft of pavement sliding.

Has anyone here ever sewn with kevlar thread? Im going to attempt to repair my motorcycle racing suit. Eventually I would like to add some stingray patches to the most commonly impacted areas. If anyone is familiar with Kevlar thread let me know what you think of it? Is it difficult to work with? How strong is it? Should I be considering a different thread? Thanks Zack

Thanks for the warm welcome TwinOaks! Im looking forward to the insight and tutelage from you pros on this site!!

Hi, my name is Zack! I have been interested in leather working for some time, and now just getting into it. Im also a watch collector, so I decided to make leather bands for my watches. I have made 2 bands and now Im hooked. I would like to continue and explore leather working. Unfortunately I do not have the tools required. I have come here to learn what I need. I will focus mostly on leather watch straps and other small leather products. Im also an avid motorcycle racer and would love to learn to repair my leather racing suit. I do have a very small collection of tools Hole punch set Leather glue Needle set Leather Glue What other tools must I absolutely have and where do I get them? Thank you Zack
