Silver Lacing

[Gilligan]

I noticed this belt on a guy I met yesterday and asked if it was hand made. He was amazed that I noticed. He told me that he'd really like to get another made, but had no idea as to where he'd get one. It was a belt that his father gave him years ago. He doesn't know if it was store bought or handmade, but I'm pretty sure it was handmade.

this is the original colors

this is the pattern further down the belt

Ive just never seen anything like the silver lace on it. It appears to be coated, like a plastic base with a ?silver? Lining on it.

I purchased a roll from Tandy and I know that the HideCrafter store stock it. You can also buy from the silver makers a metal lace that is used on saddle cantles.

TLF discontinued those at least 3 years ago. Some stores may still have some though.

The metallic lace that Hidecrafters carries is RealLeather brand lace. It is also available at your closest Hobby Lobby here in the states.
