azrider Report post Posted December 25, 2010 I have made a couple of biker wallets now, and the only nice looking chain I have been able to find at the hardware store has been in dog collars. Thats a little more than I wanted to spend. Google search on chrome chain brought back a ton of stuff, none of which being what I wanted. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of where to get a nice looking chrome chain, and appropriately sized s hooks to attach it to the wallet.

Timd Report post Posted December 25, 2010 Adam, These aren't chrome, but chainmail type, click on the accessories tab: Hawkwolf's I use them, and most of the time people comment on the chain before the wallet..lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azrider Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Thank you for the suggestions. I took the chain and hardware out of a Tandy kit on my last wallet, but made a horsehide belt clip to match the wallet. The chain mail ones look awesome, but I don't know if I would get the price of them out of the wallet. It might be worth making two wallets, and getting a chain like that to see. My wife sent me this link- http://www.firemountaingems.com/shopping.asp?skw=KWCHAINBULKALUM and I ordered a few pieces of the a black and a gun metal to see how they look. If that's not what I am looking for, Hot Topic may be an option too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Report post Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Jackie, Welcome to Leatherworker.net. Please, visit us often as your help and expertise are valuable to us. For those who don't know Ohio Travel Bag, they are a go to vendor for quality hardware. I find their stuff to be quite a few levels above most of the items coming from China. I believe a lot of their suppliers are European as the casting and plating, fit and finish of their products emotes U.S. or European quality. The staff at OTB are pros in their field. I don't know many of them that don't have five years there, most of them are ten or fifteen year hardware addicts. Ray knows most of the hardware made on this planet, and where it is. He is THE man for finding something. I have probably just covered the surface of products and services from OTB, so Jackie, please go to the suppliers forum and give us the full scoop on OTB.

reddevil76 Report post Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) I've just used Ohio Travel Bag. For my needs, they set up an order for me through their affiliate site. very prompt service. For wallet chains, most of the time I braid them out of leather though. Edited December 31, 2010 by reddevil76 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
