uscstaylor Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hey Gang I just wanted to share this with you all. I ordered this for my undersuit. it's the material for the riding patches and man this stuff is gorgeous suede leather. You definitely cant beet the price. She has a couple of different sizes as well! https://www.etsy.com...p_home_active_1 2
theisaac Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 how many did you need for the butt flap and the riding patches? I need some for my build.
uscstaylor Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 It's a good weight I used 1 for butt flap, that's all I needed. I bought 2 more for my riding patches
BikerScout007 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 how many did you need for the butt flap and the riding patches? I need some for my build. My guess is at that size, probably 3. Which is still cheap as heck
Chunk Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 If your doing at home, that weight is too thick for a regular sewing machine. It can be done, but be prepared to have seral HD 16g needs on hand. You will have to go EXTREMLY SLOW & I MEAN SLOW, still you will break needles. Think I broke 4 on my 1st suit with 3.5oz suede. I now use 1.5-2oz pig suede on all my suits. Much easier to pin in place & a whole lot easier to work with. You can find large pieces on ebay for around $20. I bought some last week (apx 5sq feet for $25) 1
uscstaylor Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Yeah its 1.4 and it looks and feels great! Going slow is a must. I'm using the Bond Glue Paper to hold it in place while I sew it. I wish I could find someone on this site that does undersuits. I'd gladly pay for one just to have an extra on hand!

BobaFiend Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks for that link, much appreciated! I find when sewing leather that spray adhesive is your friend. It keeps the piece in place just enough so you can skip the pins and run your stitch with precision. 1
