Members Tugadude Posted February 26, 2022 Members Report Posted February 26, 2022 I would consider avoiding fabric altogether and try using Tyvek material. This is the material you find used for tear-resistant envelopes. It is a spunbonded polyolefin material which is going to outlast any fabric I can think of. It doesn't fray nor does it stretch. And although I haven't used it in this exact application, I have no doubt it will adhere to leather as well or better than any other material. Sourcing it may be the only challenge as the sources I'm aware of are large rolls used for weatherproofing buildings. So perhaps you can find a distributor that sells largish envelopes and you can cut them up to create your loops. Quote

Edit: I'm sure that with a little effort you could find someone to provide you samples of the material. I'm sure there is a building products supplier in Australia that sells it. DuPont has cut sheets they give out for samples. Maybe they will give you some. Edited February 26, 2022 by Tugadude added info Quote
