khill Report post Posted December 1, 2019 Curious what type of leather people use for billets . Looking for something that won't stretch to badly. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted December 2, 2019 The leathers I use are mostly veg-tan/harness ,so I normally use a good piece of 4 or 5mm double butt or shoulder .I also use the same on my other styles of belts too. I don't have the luxury of a press, so cutting the billets & buckle ends out by hand are a bit fiddly. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
