Tiger Thread.

Where is the best place to get it here in the US? I have used some and like it better than Tandy for sure.

What else compares/where do you get it?

Thanks for the input guys.

Hello bravo,

US sources are limited right now to people who buy & resell sub-spool lengths on ebay, etsy, and amazon. I have a limited selection of 1.0mm myself: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JalakLeatherworks?section_id=17533378

For comparable, there are a few, at least in terms of suitability for leatherwork. Not all of these are braided poly like Tiger, and each my have different applications to which they are best suited:

• First, there's lin cable, which seems even harder to find in the US.
• Then there is Lekoza's eagle thread. My own opinion is that it's very comparable to Tiger Ritza. http://lekoza.com/
• Last there's Maine Thread, which I have never used but have seen favorable compared to lin cable: http://www.mainethread.com
