Members Bigfoote Posted October 13, 2017 Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 Wondering what weight leather are you using on your slings? I made one out of 14oz saddle skirting I had kicking around, ended up making about 15 more for other people, and now my 8oz slings are not selling well??? I think the 14oz are way too stiff personaly, but you have to make what sells! I think I will standardize with 10oz, kind of happy medium. Quote
Members Halitech Posted October 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 The one I just started (as well as one I finished the other day) are both made from 6-7 veg and lined with 4oz "designer" leather. I put about 1/4" of foam shelf liner in between for padding. Will give me about a 10oz overall thickness. 14oz does seem pretty heavy, I have some here that I use for belts after splitting them down to the max my splitter will handle.

Members Bigfoote Posted October 13, 2017 Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 Ya I have come to the conclusion 10oz is about right! Going to get a couple bends in that weight and make a bunch more up, they sell real good in my area. Quote
