I've been searching for some black latigo leather that's roughly somewhere between 4-6 oz, but it appears to be impossible to find. I was curious if anybody could explain why that is? Or if I've just been looking in all the wrong places?

So, I've recently found myself in a dilemma. I make gauntlets and got commissioned for a set that I had to dye and paint (fiebings hi-lite dye and paint on both) and now I'm left concerned that, though it doesn't appear to have any problem with water or rub-off now, that it might down the road. The fiebings sealers I've come across seem to leave a very glossy finish, which I would like to avoid. So what's a sealer that can not only take being rubbed on itself (the gauntlets have jointed fingers that'll rub on each other) but can also take rubbing on skin and being wet really well without rubbing off on clothes or skin? I've tried searching a bit and it looks like fiebings snow proof paste sealer is suggested fairly often. Are there others? Will this keep the dye in without rubbing off? Do I have to worry about the sealer rubbing off on clothes? Etc
