Hand Stitch Webbing To 8Oz Strap?

That's right, Cordura is for abrasion resistance, not tensile strength, and of course it is much thinner than webbing. The 1050d ballistic is slightly better for tear resistance, but it is still probably less than 200 lbs tensile strength compared to webbing which can be ~4000 lbs for a 1" strap. But the OP's stated use did not mention reinforcement, but rather a "liner."

In any event, I appreciate the advice from experience. I am working on another project now to build a semi-tactical dog harness/vest with nylon. While leather is the traditional material for harness, it is typically heavy and stiff and not comfortable for all-day wear. I have several webbing harness that I use for carting, ski and bike joring, and for the highest loads (with broad 2" straps). But all of them are overbuilt for light-duty use. I made another one with grosgrain ribbon (polyester). This is normally only a decorative material, but I found 1 3/4" ribbons to be excellent for light-duty use, and obviously much more comfortable than nylon webbing. The grosgrain ribbon would also make a luxurious strap liner, but I can't recommend it for anything that would see abrasion and it hardly adds any tensile strength. Presently I am working on a jacket/harness sewn of a woven nylon fabric for personal use. Most tactical harness incorporate both a Cordura-type woven fabric and webbing straps.

This project is on hold for now as there's a bit of waffling over my plan vs an all nylon plan.I don't have 100% of the details but I do know it's not for life support/climbing etc and as far as I can tell the webbing is more for support/anti-stretch than for abrasion. The added info is much appreciated though as I hope to try a webbing combo for a few things now, including a harness for my dog and maybe a hiking and hauling rig for me. Either way I'll will update with progress as it goes.
