Not really wanting to spend a 100 bucks on a double shoulder of leather just getting started. Appreciate any info They make bovine and horse leather. The horse comes in much smaller portions. Either a single or double front, strips, or shell. The shell is the stuff they make really expensive shoes out of. I think they say it takes several months to produce. It is a small oval about 2.5 as.ft. The only price i have found for those is from an Italian tannery and the run almost 200.00 a piece. So, I haven't tried any. I'm just moving into the better than Tandy leather world myself. Only in the last 6 or 8 months have I been seeing what better leather can do. But my pace moves in slug years. I work a physical job and have a young child, so not a lot of time at the bench. Anywho cheers. Quote 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. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Clintock Posted March 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 13, 2017 Used to have a physical job. 12 hrs a day. Now I work 4-10s m-t running heavily equipment. Off fri sat sun. So now I have lots of time. Guess all double shoulders are around 90 bucks. Maybe I can keep researching and find some cheaper. Quote
