Members khyll Posted June 29 Members Report Posted June 29 I need some very dense and very soft leather, ideally veg-tan natural color so that I can dye it myself. It can be relatively thick as long as it's soft enough that I can tie knots with it. I'm thinking that moccasin bison might be what I'm after. I'm grateful for advice both on type of leather and suppliers that offer a good balance of quality and price. Quote

This will darken it also but will enable you to tie knots. I would, if I were you, attempt to get samples of the different leathers you are wondering about then do some testing to find what will work. you might think about latigo leather also.
