BTW.....where does one go to find out about leather? Y'know things like how
the thickness and weight are measured and what is good for what. Where to buy
hides and what to look for? Techniques for sewing and care? Is there a good
site?
I'd love to make a leather doublet but don't know how to get what I want.
Try the leather pages at
<http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/LeatherS.htm> while the main focus
of the site may be lord of the rings movie costumes, there's a whole lot
of info about sewing and leatherwork in general. This page will take you
to ones on how to estimage leather for a project, what weight for what
sort of project, terms and definations, how to make some things that
aren't leather look like it, and a bunch of methods of working with the
leather.
