Using Stonedoil Or Drum Dyed Leather

[TomG]

I'm looking for a rugged and water resistant leather for making belts or collars.

I know Latigo will fit the bill. But's it usually only comes in burgundy, and black - although IO think I saw some other colors somewhere.

I'm wondering how the Stoned oil or Drum Dyed leather like they are advertising on Tandy would hold up. Some of it is 8/9 oz, and I can line 6/7 if need be. Or double it up.

It needs to be strong and pliable, with minimal stretch.

Suggestions?

I'm using vegtan now, but just looking for a different look and feel for some deluxe type products.

Thanks
