DianeWood Report post Posted June 21, 2014 I was wondering what type of leather is used for fringe? If anybody knows of the type and weight. Thanks, Diane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted June 21, 2014 Personally, . . . I prefer to use the "extra" pieces from the exact same hide that I did the project with. That way, the dye is predictable (if you are dying it), . . . the color matches, . . . and overall I think it lends a bit of authenticity to the creation. I have cut fringe from 5/6 oz suede, . . . on down to verrrrrrrrrrry thin stuff. Just depends on the look you want, . . . the product you are making, . . . and the service required. Obviously, sleeve fringe on a Harley jacket is going to be more demanding that fringe on a white, lambskin clutch purse. These chaps went from leg leather to fringe, . . . with the cut of the knife,. . . 4/5 oz suede. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
