That's lovely, using the crocodilians hide. ;-)

 

I live in Alberta Canada, and have no idea where alligator or crocodile skin can be purchased up here. 

If I did, I would make it a priority.  Haha

While, I guess I spoke too soon. 

I see in the December Tandy Leather flier, there will be a special purchase, of Crocodile Back Strips, Assorted Colors.

"These are ridged back strips from genuine crocodile. Use your creativity to custom make unique articles like belts, wrist cuffs, hatbands and more, or use for accents on projects such as guitar straps, purses, binders and more. Strips average 55" X 3-1/2" (1.4 m X 88.9 mm) at their widest point. Save up to 50%.

 

I will have to make sure I get one. ;-)

Would love to be able to help on that ....quite like it myself. If I find it I will let you know. I would have thought Ohio Travel would have had something close. Oh and thanks for the pics on the snaps.... just shows ya where there's the will there is always a way.

Great, thank you! Likewise, will let you know if I track it down. Love the croc shot!

I like the idea of a croc bracelet, but I gotta ask, how do you get the croc to wear it?

Very carefully, from a distance?? while your mate asks the croc?

What I really wanted is in the second photo below (Hermes bracelet); a rectangular spring gate Turns out they’re a little hard to find (for me at least). Tracked down something similar in silver from Rio Grande, but I don’t think it has a large enough clearance on the gate. Would love any insights on where else to look (tried the usual Ohio Bag and Buckleguy).

Hermès make their own hardware, or has it made. But you could probably find something like it from some Italian hardware company.

Thanks for the info! Will try focusing my search there...
