Any idea where to find this vintage lace?

Recommended Posts

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"
