Thanks for the tip!

Awesome CaptQuirk! Thank you! Google is my friend but let me down on this particular search. They have a bunch of cool stuff there. Much appreciated!

Hello, I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I have an old belt that has what looks like double-cap rivets with a star on them. I tried finding these or similar rivets with a design stamped on them but haven't found anything. Can someone point me in the right direction where to buy them? Thanks!

That's good info! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Art! I've dealt with Wickett & Craig before. In fact am still using some of their leather now. I'm surprised to hear you suggest that I would essentially have to buy a full drum as it would be special order. Although my inability to find a source anywhere indicates you may be correct. Figured this was something others would like too. I do have a hide of harness leather I bought from Weaver Leather that is struck through, but I'm not too crazy about how it feels. A bit too stiff for my liking even after extensive wear.

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and fairly new to leather working. I've been making belts and collars and have been looking for 12 oz struck through latigo or any other suitable leather type without success so far. I searched Google and also this forum and nothing turns up. Can someone point me in the right direction? Does anyone actually make struck through hides? It would simply save a good bit of time not having to paint the edges. Thanks in advance! Scott
