I've been using a veg-tan leather in 8-9oz. and 10-12oz for belt making. They're both from Tandy, so obviously poor quality leather. As a fairly new leather worker, I've been reluctant to learn with better quality leather. I think I'm ready to start working with something nicer however, and am wondering what some of your favorite veg-tans to use for belts? Would using an oil-tanned leather be a terrible idea?
thanks
