Members DianeWood Posted June 21, 2014 Members Report 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
Members Dwight Posted June 21, 2014 Members Report 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 If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
