Thanks for the responses !! At least now I have a better idea of what to get. I’ll try it on some scrap pieces first. It’s going to be a western but also functional for hunting but somewhat 1860’s period correct except the Chicago screws.

Hey All, New here and new to leather work but great to be here!! I’m basically diving into this with what I have learned on YouTube. I probably should not have done it this way but I bought a a leather tool kit and a stitch kit Without realizing there are different sizes to the thread so my question is what size thread do I use if I wanna do a gun holster and sow on cartridge loops . I’m using 8 to 9 ounce veg tan for the belt and I’m using 4 to 5 ounce veg tan for the cartridge loops. With the tools I ordered they’ve got the different stitch hole punch’s for the various different number of holes so are they pretty much a standard size. I didn’t go expensive on my tools because I want to make sure I like doing this and will upgrade later but I have most of what I need .Thanks in advance!!
