emile1138 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I was searching for suede in JoAnn's the other day and there were so many kinds available... Should I be looking for this kind specifically or is there a recommended kind of suede I should find at a fabric store? Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The only requirement in the CRL for level 2 is that the riding patches are real suede. I recommend that you look for black pigskin suede if you've got a Lancer build in mind. When you're perusing the selection at Joanns, try and get something without a super severe grain, but also isn't so tough that you're going to break 20 sewing needles trying to attach it to your coveralls. Here some close up photos of Gino's scout from Celebration 2 years ago, if that gives you an idea: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
