Members Deanwalker151 Posted September 25 Members Report Posted September 25 Hey all! I've got a customer that want's a radio strap that's basically raw veg tan leather like the one in the picture. My question is what's the best treatment to keep this looking nice? Just oil it or seal with something? Idea? Thanks Dean Quote

The design is a pretty simple one but personally I would check what products are designed to meet the safety standards related to fire clothing and equipment before applying anything. I am sure their are standards to cover-off any and all things a fire fighter has on their bodies. Also ensure the leather thickness and sewing thread meets those standards. This for me work be a project best left to those certified and insured to do that type of work. kgg Edited September 25 by kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
