I want to start making these festival belts, and wonder what kind of leather they are using, or what might be best to use? It looks flexible, almost like a latigo.

It's hard to say what type it is just from a photo. But it appears to be pretty thin, and soft.

Dont get side tracked by the colors thinking it is latago. From the colors it could be harness leather too. But I doubt it is.

I would bet it is similar to what Tandy calls chap leather, or upholstery leather.

Thank you both for replying. I originally thought it was a little heavier, like a milled veg tan (I saw some other belts like this that were obviously heavier material), but I think you are correct that these are a thinner leather like goat.

Now to come up with a pattern! The not-so-easy part for me!

And designer goatskin is on sale next weekend at Tandy for $15 each! Guess I will be stocking up on my way in to Equine Affaire in Columbus!
