Michael Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Anyone know where I can get some pieces in various (mainly black!) colours? Some times when making or patching straps, using leather to line them with makes them a bit stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many soft leathers that wouldn't make it stiffer and is better than using synthetic materials. Be more than happy to send you some cuttings if you would like to try some options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I use the really soft stretchy leather and scour it back a bit to make it even thinner, but it also looks different when the original linings are synthetic. Not a job I do very often but coming into summer there will be quite a few cheap sandals needing repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
