How to choose leathercraft supplies

Choose the leather type for the job: vegetable-tanned leather takes tooling, stamping and dyeing well, while chrome-tanned leather is softer and suits garments and linings. Thickness is often given in ounces, where one ounce is roughly 0.4mm.

• Thicker leather suits belts and straps; thinner leather suits wallets, card holders and lining.
• Pricking irons or stitching chisels space holes evenly for hand saddle stitching.
• Waxed thread resists fraying and holds stitches firmly.
• Keep knives and edge bevellers sharp and cut away from your body on a solid board.
