Good Buy?

[Phillip Carr]

Bought some 10-12oz saddle skirting from Tandy Saturday for $90 (on sale). The salesperson told me that at the belly it would be about 8oz. I did some quick math and here's what I got:

Veg Bellies:

$30 each

4-5 sq feet

low quality

6-7 oz

for $90

12-15 sq feet

still low q

6-7 oz

Saddle Skirting:

$90

21-22 sq feet

better quality

10-12 oz, with some 8 oz

I think the sale ends pretty soon. It seems like a good deal to me, but I'm still very new at this. I'll still probably use the heavier stuff to make holsters, which someone on the forum recommended.

Anyone hate saddle skirting?

Keep in mind: Belly leather is very stretchy and most often the poor end of the spectrum.
