Pablo27 Report post Posted November 29, 2014 What I want to know is which type of thread you would recommend for sewing Mocs, and maybe why? I am sewing them by hand so also what size thread? Have researched these forums and no luck, Linen, Nylon, Polyester? Thanks in advance for all you help and advice. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkullCanyon Report post Posted November 29, 2014 I use 138 polyester on my mocs, machine sewn. Polyester for the UV protection and 138 doesn't make a huge hole but is plenty strong. I double sew the upper to the sole gemini making it 277 in that section that is not visible. I know of others that use 92 or 207. To me it depends on what look you want in the end. I only use bison or bull hide for the feel and longevity at around 8/9 oz. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo27 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks Kenny, this does help. Not sure just how these translate to hand sewing sizes of thread. Appreciate the post, you really make some very nice mocs, I am in awe. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
