Ave Miles,

I want to make my own belt, but would like to know the best place to get 3-4-5 oz leather hide, straps, or pieces at a reasonable price. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where do you live?

Any tack and harness shop should be able to get it for you. Tandy Leather is where I get mine from.

Well, those of us in Legio XX in northern Va have leather and supplies. Have we met?

Are you part of another legion? You can join us at a fabrica.

Titus, we'll be having a fabrica soon. PM me offline and I'll fill you in, or... just post on the unit list, I saw you were there.

You can't go wrong with the Legio XX guys Bradley...most of us N. American groups were influenced by them!
