JoeSnuffie Report post Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Not finding a suitable place to buy Tiger thread, I ordered 250 meters of .8 mm black braided and waxed thread from China. I only have Tandy braided thread to compare but I really like it. Only took a month to get here.The picture shows it next to Tandy braided thread that's about 1.2mm I'd my cheap caliper is accurate. It's not as stiff and heavily waxed as the Tandy but it's nice and I'll be ordering a few more colors. This is perfect for thinner wallets.

King's X Report post Posted March 21, 2014 I purchased a roll, but it was in 1mm braided and waxed. It only took 2 weeks to get to me. I really like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeSnuffie Report post Posted March 22, 2014 I've asked them about even smaller sizes and I hope I hear back. I'll be ordering a few more colors of this and I'll be set for at least a year or more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cem Report post Posted March 24, 2014 I've bought thread from there as well, took about two weeks to get it. The thread stretches a lot more than Tiger which I didn't care for on the stuff I make but it does come in some nice colours and I occasionally still do use it on decorative stuff. It would go well on wallets, watch straps etc I'm not that I would trust it on anything concerning use for animals though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeSnuffie Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Cem, that's good to know. I've only done one bridle repair and I used some thicker waxed thread for that. If I do anything else for an animal I'll be sure not to use this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeSnuffie Report post Posted March 24, 2014 I think I might have gotten it sooner but it appears it was lost. I missed an email that I just saw on eBay that said it was lost by the shipper and not only did they resend but they refunded my payment. I guess I should check eBay messages more often. I suppose this gives me a pretty honest impression of the seller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leatherstarter Report post Posted March 28, 2014 Here's a couple of Etsy shops that gets Tiger Thread to the states in about two weeks and is a great price. Lot's of color options and it doesn't get you on shipping. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeatherWurx https://www.etsy.com/shop/LionheartCanada Hope this helps...
