Unwaxed Linen Thread . . . Where Can I Find It?

Recommended Posts

I am hand stitching holsters and belt cases until I can afford a machine. Where can I get unwaxed linen thread? I keep finding waxed thread everywhere I look.

I had no luck finding any in Europe...Can you believe that? In the end I gave up and just went with Tiger thread... Its a polyester braid (I think thats the correct term) and come highly recommended... Sometimes we have to admit that some modern material is simply better than what Stohlman used...

At Alexitbe, it's widely available in the EU and the UK - Abbey has it for instance and probably any other leather wholesaler.

Look for Barbour, Somac and Fil au Chinois or even Campbell for that matter. It's often referred to as satinated or simply satin.

Are you in America? Oregon leather in Portland has Barbours in machine spools. Warning, you will be getting a lifetime supply.
