Any idea where to find this vintage lace?

[yober]

I’ve been asked to reproduce this vintage A.L. Clay holster and I’d like to reproduce this lacing in the pics as closely as possible.  I’m at a loss to identify the type — it doesn’t feel like rawhide as it’s softer.  I can’t seem to find anybody that makes this width, the maximum being 1/4” kangaroo so far from the usual suppliers.

Anybody have any thoughts?  Do I have to resort to making my own lace, or is there some source I’m not finding?

Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking it looks like natural kangaroo lace. Is that lace 3/8" wide?

I'm not sure where you are located. But look up "Y-KNOT LACE"

They should have your lace.. They might even positively know what lace that is.

It looks at least that wide, maybe more.

Looked at Y-not.  They only have one size and it’s skinny.

They got lace up to a 1/2" wide. I was on their site.  Their kangaroo I know goes to 3/8" it's $44 for 12yards

If there was 1/2” lace, I couldn’t find it.  Have a link?

Ignore the pictures. Pick your colour and then select the width you want.

Did that.  I don’t see 1/2” in these options.

I believe anything over 3/8" you got to call them & if they don't have it. I think they can make it or source it. 

Have you measured the lace on that holster? To me it sure looks like 3/8"
