Hi everyone,
Just getting started with leathercrafting, so I'm learning everything as I go. I'm trying to create an outfit similar to the one worn by Sir Ansgar, a character from The Quest (reality show from ABC, it's on Netflix. Check it out!)
He has a few different pieces he wears, one of which is like a loose gorget or mantle draped over the shoulders. Looks like something I could put together without too much trouble, but I am at a loss as to what the small, celtic-like disks sewn onto the leather are called or where to buy them. I found the term conchos somewhere, but from what I've found those seem to be more of a decorative piece, not something you'd buy in bulk to decorate like this.
If anyone knows what these are actually called so I can search where to buy them, I'd greatly appreciate it! Also, if you had to guess on the thickness of that leather, what would you say?
Thanks a ton!
