Members FireFighter25 Posted December 20, 2013 Members Report Posted December 20, 2013 I'm currently using8/9 oz veg tanned leather to make suspenders. I'm stamping it and then planning on using a Eco flo antique and finishing it with fiebings leather sheen (spray one). I wear really soft shirts for work and know the back of the leather will make them all fuzzy. Will it still be like that after I die and finish or do I have to put something else to protect my shirts? Quote
Members camano ridge Posted December 20, 2013 Members Report Posted December 20, 2013 dye the back side (fuzzy side) then burnish the heck out of the back side. Here is a thread with several methods. THe best is to choose the leather with the smoothest flesh side you can find or by pasted leather. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=21578 Quote
Tree Reaper Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) You can add a pig skin lining to the flesh side. Edited December 20, 2013 by Tree Reaper Quote
