Members whinewine Posted November 7, 2009 Members Report Posted November 7, 2009 When Tandy was discontinuing their line of screw-on inlay conchos, I picked up a bunch at a very good price. Instead of using the veg-tan inserts that came with them, they are put to good use by utilizing (otherwise) useless, small scraps of genuine exotic leathers. However, this is neither a 'horsey' area, nor does it have any great Western or cowboy influences, so I'm kinda stumped when people ask "what can they be used for?" I tell them that they can be put on hats or on hatbands (very little in Stetson or Western-type hatwear around here) & I tell them some people put them into a spare belt hole (I don't make belts, other than a few specialty belts, and those belts don't use conchos, btw)... Other than that, I'm stumped! What else can they be used for? They are very thick in comparison to other screw-on conchos, so they don't lie as flush with a surface as regular screw-on conchos & wouldn't do well on a notebook; they don't stand out like an all metal concho on a purse flap... I'm just all out of ideas. Any suggestions? Quote
Members iwannabeacowboy Posted November 7, 2009 Members Report Posted November 7, 2009 One idea, they sell the adapters to convert to snaps. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Conchos/11383-00.aspx?feature=Product_33 One more, adapters for drawer pulls. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Conchos/11380-01.aspx?feature=Product_12 Charlie Quote
