Leather Watch Strap Question

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I am new here and was going to order some supplies to practice my stitching. Going to practice on watch straps and wallets. What kind of leathers should I be looking for both the outside of the strap/wallet and the lining of the watch strap? Some leathers I have found are Chevre Chagrin, fjord calf, and 3oz or 5oz Veg Tanned by buttero. Will any of these do or all? A little lost starting up and could use some help. 

Thanks!

Chèvre Chagrin and the others you mentioned might be a little pricey for practicing on.

Try Maverick Leather for some Horween 2nds.

Springfield Leather has some goat, kidskin and pig that is nice looking but not too high for practicing on.
