Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 19, 2017 Moderator Report Posted January 19, 2017 It will be helpful if you list your location in your profile. Most members here are in the US, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, plus Europe. You asked for leather in a metric measurement, so I think you are not in the USA.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 19, 2017 Moderator Report Posted January 19, 2017 I don't have the information you need, unless one of our manufacturers can export leather to you. Hopefully, another member may reply with better info.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 19, 2017 Moderator Report Posted January 19, 2017 By the way, the thickest leather I have seen available for sale in the US and Canada is about 1/4 inch, which is about 6mm. I imagine some tannery has thicker sides, but don't know where. When I need to make items that thick I glue and sew two or more pieces together. My Cowboy CB4500 stitcher can sew over 3/4 inch, or 20+mm Quote Posted IMHO, by Wiz My current crop of sewing machines: Cowboy CB4500, Singer 107w3, Singer 139w109, Singer 168G101, Singer 29k71, Singer 31-15, Singer 111w103, Singer 211G156, Adler 30-7 on power stand, Techsew 2700, Fortuna power skiver and a Pfaff 4 thread 2 needle serger.
Members hardwood Posted January 19, 2017 Author Members Report Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks a lot for your experience and info . I am trying to make such bracelet which the diameter is about 8mm and it can not be glued by leathers together So i am looking for such heavy leathers Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 20, 2017 Moderator Report Posted January 20, 2017 I don't know if you are going to find such thick leather, unless you fold, glue, or sew two suitable pieces together. You might want to look into making a round leather strap using a special technique known in the trade as round reins (horse tack) or round straps (purse straps, dog leashes, whips). There is an excellent tutorial on making round leather reins here. You can try to purchase the needed tools from Weaver Leather, which is one of our supporters with ad banners on top of the pages. They may or may not export directly to China. Good luck with your project!
