Wow, I calculated the leather cost and it comes up to around $350 if it is all bought at once. Not including any tools.  Lots of extra leather too. I am going to wait a couple of weeks before investing in the leather and tools. I am still unsure about the veil material if the tandy stuff listed is suede or smooth. The velvet suede seems sorta thick. I am also unsure about the lacing, I think it is a lighter oz. weight than the skirt leather. I mean, it's thinner than the skirt definately. Mebbe the top layer of the stomach plate and the lacing is the same oz. leather. I will have to pay a visit to the local tandy store ;) (Zam I Am drags along her cardboard cut out for the Third time...) I would assume that siegal of ca has the similar hides in weight. Haven't done any comparisons. After I have the leather and cut it, I plan to have it dyematched two shades darker than the neoprene. :)


Edit** anyone have any leather questions? I will try to go to Tandy next Saturday.  I might order half of the leather next week- probably the leather having to do with the skirt and vest.


Edit*II** Just emailed the lady at RudeDog Leather concerning the laces she said


So I guess the lace cutter is only good for the vest laces.


Edit*III** Not trying to advertize for tandy, but trying to save some peeps some money.  Tandy is having a sale for the month. I talked to the customer service rep, make sure you print out the online prices cause their stores sell at retail prices.


Edit IV** That customer service rep doesn't know what she is talking about, I just bought the lace cutter, and the top notch is for 1/4" laces. And, Sith C. has one too.
