Are there any updates? Did you get the rest of your order? I'd like to know so I could possibly order some braids from them as well. They look pretty nice.

I am working on a prototype and will have photos soon. I will be offering them for sale once I get the first one done.

Okay but what about the source for braids themselves? I don't need a whole belt made, I can do that myself.

The place I get the braids from is called Indian Jewelers Supply Company. website: http://www.ijsinc.com phone 1-800-545-6540
The item number is 118-BOS6LBRN bola straps 6 ply 42" long. They cost about $5.69 a piece and I used about 25 for this belt. They do not need to be dyed as they are a perfect color the way they come.
I was going to make them for the board and sell them but the cost is just to high and I don't think anyone would be willing to pay what it would cost to make it. I spent about $165+ to make this one. I will offer to make them for other members if they want me to but now you have the source if you want to do it on your own.
Not bad for a beginner Huh??

Nice, but I think the spool of it that Foxbat found is more economical. Foxbat and I did some googeling last night to find leather brade, because you seemed reluctant to tell where you got yours from. A blessing in desguise, perhaps.

6-ply? You need 4-ply for Jango. Also, there should be 19 (at most 20) braids in the belt.

If you do 20 4 ply briads it will not be big enough. I originally orderd 20 and it was to thin even with the 6 ply. You will need at minimum 20 but 25 is better.

Yeah but it's inaccurate then. It should be 19 or 20 1/4" (or 6mm) 4-ply braids.
Last year when a friend of mine and I built a Jango costume for a friend's kid, I bought a bunch of nice braided leather strands off e-bay. It was a dutch auction, so I got to choose how many strands I wanted and bought just the right amount. It turned out beautifully and was actually pretty cheap to make.

Mind sharing the source you found? I'd like to get around
to making one for myself.

No, we don't mind. In fact there's a thread about it:
