I believe that if you're going for a Jango belt, I don't think they use rope, it's a 5mm or 6 mm braided Round Leather Cord also known as Bolo sometimes. Seems to me someone here was buying this stuff wholesale from someone in India and selling it to folks but I lost track of whom that was in particular. I'm going to be needing to buy some as well, so maybe we can get several of us together interested in buying some of this "Bolo" and buy it wholesale at a significantly lower rate. Thoughts? If you're just wanting one of the Boba mohair girth belts, heck I'll sell you the one I bought for what I have in it. It's brand new and 40" long, still undyed...As far as glue, take your pick of many. Hot glue, Goop, Welder, etc should work well enough...
