What is the most expensive/durable fur? I was going to use mink, fox or Lynx. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

A chinchilla coat would also require some investment.

It's probably not that durable though.

Oh that's rich!!!:lol:

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

I would have concerns about durability.  And the skin seems able to stretch almost infinitely.  

Assuming you can coerce the wearer out if it in the first place.

Making some progress...:)

That's because of the moisture content I'm sure. Once tanned properly everything should tool well. Maybe just a leg to start with and get a feel for it.

Vicuña maybe? They can only be shorn every three years and must be wild caught. A vicuña wool sportscoat can easily coat into the tens of thousands of dollars. So I can only imagine if you killed and skinned one how much more expensive it would be.
