Hi folks,

I'm heading in the direction of sheath making and was wondering if anyone here
has ever ordered from the (ebay) ACS Trading Post? I just saw a full side of
vege tanned 10-12oz for $129 and was hoping someone could give me the :thumbup: or
:thumbdn: .

Thanks a lot,

I've ordered twice from them, and each time delivery was like they lived next door. Nice stuff but as usual, when you get it....you see it cheaper some place else. Try 814darcy.
 
10 - 12 oz is pretty heavy leather for most sheaths. I think they rate leather as 1 oz equals 1/32nd of an inch thick. So that woud be 10/32 to 12/32nds of an inch thick. 6 to 8 oz is an ideal leather for sheaths. HTH
 
Not wanting to be a "know-it-all", but 1 oz. is equal to 1/64". Just looked it up again to be sure. :)
