Yes I use saddlers copper rivets. I think they are the strongest mate.

They look good, there was an American talking about not using them on his stirrups as they won't break away if a rider gets hung up, I'll give them a go

I'm not making stirrups though lol

Haha I didnt think you was mate, you can get brass type ones aswell but they are American and you have to get them from Tandy I think. They are harder to work with and you dont gain strength, its just a different look.

Just received these belts made by Jeemes , there was three of them but my brother claimed one before I had time to get a picture ...worth the 5 week wait it took for Spanish postal servis to get them here ..super quality , fabulous job ..the red one is buffalo leather and was my brothers first choice , but as I was paying I got to choose first , his one was a dark brown with yellow stitching ..

 

Many thanks ...well pleased !

They're nice mate, I was thinking about belt buckles with gamebirds etc on them

How does the oak bark leather compare in price to the thick veg tan ?

 

[jeemes 3,547]

It is more expensive. I cant remember how much exactly, you have to ring them and the boss gives a price. The Oak bark is very slow to process I think and thats why its more. If you want a small amount to try I might be able to help.

Thanks for the offer mate, but I've got a lot of veg that'll keep me busy for a good while, then I'll probably start looking into trying some other leathers
