Bowfanny Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Does this pigskin suede work for the flap and riding patches? http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/glazed-pigskin-lining-leather All help and quick responses are graciously requested and appreciated.
Bowfanny Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Or even this one- http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/super-softy-garment-pigskin-suede-split
Bowfanny Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Fantastic! Thanks Chef! I actually ordered the second one just before you messaged. I just hope 4square feet is enough to cover the bits that need to be covered! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
wookieevader Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 One hide or what they send you 4sq ft is what i ordered from them and being a bigger guy it was enough for my suit Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
Bowfanny Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 That's good to know! Thanks WV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 i walked around yesterday for 3 stations. about 50min walk. the station that i initially intended to go to (yet walked a few stations past that) had a few nice leather shops. One had pig leather, inexpensive yet nice. Going to pick that up this week for mine as well.
Bowfanny Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 Love to see how it looks Zarintyr Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I will try and get to the area today. It's a holiday today..so not sure if any will be open. If they are, ill try and get pics of the leather.

Saw the leather in your photos on your thread Z, the suede should be highly flexible as in garment weight from what I've been reading everywhere (seasoned scouts can correct me if I'm wrong please). 1
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 this is what I bought. Half thin. Half slightly thick. Color should be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bowfanny Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Looks just like the stuff I got except mines the same color on both sides.
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Yea I could find same color on both sides. It was this style or one side this. Other side leather Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Mud flap 30x30. Front 35x35 in two parts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Have you attached yours yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bowfanny Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Not yet, I still have to pattern the patches which I'll do with some paper and tape before I even cut any leather.
4505Marcel Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 These sizes really are user specific, things change for different height scouts Mud flap 30x30. Front 35x35 in two parts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Hmm I'm 5"10. Not sure what is good for that height Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Also. Is the black elastic sewed on the suede before its sewed on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bowfanny Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 As far as I can tell, patches come to mid front thigh or so and flap goes from waist to just the bottom of your tushy and basically run the width of the roundest part of said tushy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zarintyr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Thnx. Will sew back flap tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bowfanny Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Im no expert though so ask one of the pros that's been here a while
