Hi all, hoping someone can advise me on shoulder harness material.
I've never worked with suede personally, but what I want to build a novelty short barrel shotgun harness similar to the firepower rig found at Andrews custom leather. This would obviously be just a "for fun" item at my range and not to be used for any type of public carry being it is an NFA item.
I've seen a few folks using suede and I like the idea of suede vs veg tan leather due to its softness and ability to form and drape easily over the shoulders and back without printing too badly.
My two concerns are color transfer and strength.
Will 3-4oz suede hold up?
Can I find undyed suede somewhere? I've searched online but come up shorthanded.
This build will also double as practice as I would like to steer (see what I did there?) into building shoulder rigs.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
