Chopper Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It should be black. You're looking for black pig suede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Stanley, Chopper is correct, the confusion of the colour boils down to age and the cleaning of the display scouts, everyone uses as a good reference. if you watch ROTJ you will struggle to see the actual patches. Pig skin is cheap and easy to obtain though please bare in mind it’s still a leather, once sewn you cannot unpick, also pigskin does rip quite easy, you will need a sewing needle designed for leather on your machine. if you’re not aiming for lancer, a fabric that has the suede look is more forgiving and easy to work with, though note you must fold the hem in or iron down the seem before sewing on so it won’t fray and give the illusion of suede. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
