MaryGladys Report post Posted September 11, 2016 Hi! I am new to this but I bought some lace at Tandy to see if I would like it and well, I do! I saw a couple few videos YouTube and LOVE it! Ok, except for one thing.....the lacing I got at Tandy is so bad....tore on me and is so stiff. I have no idea how it is finished - veg tanned or chrome, but I am sure many people have tried it here....and it is quite unlike any leather I have used! I have heard a lot about the wonders of kangaroo but not all suppliers are equal, and would I have to prepare the lace if I got it? I have started making purses and notebooks if that helps - so colors are GREAT! My father is a boot maker so I was raised with leather all my life. For the dress boots, of course, chrome tanned - for the colors. Work boots, a different story. He put me in touch with his supplier for piping and welts....And they make cowhide lace in a variety of colors for cheap, however, before I go crazy and order, I would like to see if anyone here has used them? The company is TLT Leather. They have sent me color samples of the leather - and it is chrome tanned - very soft, consistent, and if it is anything like the piping, it should be fairly thin. ANYHOW, just wondering if anyone has used them? Thanks so much!!! Regards, MG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
