I'm considering having a tailor sew these down the side of those suede pants in my sig, and, at the very least, maybe a bracelet...

yep, those are my sartorial plans

Just received the revised piping. Made some adjustments. Let me know your comments. Again, it is about 1 1/2 millimeter thick. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks good to me.  I'd be happy with that piping on my vest.  Give it the green light.

I would like a little more feedback, but PM me for orders. Please remember, it will not be a continous 5 yards we need. I can do five differnt pieces and they can me matched up for our use. Right now it is $35 for 5 yards of the piping plus shipping. PM me with interests

Ok, here are the final numbers for this piping:

We have figured you will need about 5 yards for a full vest. Since mine does not come in continuous roll and are in strips (about 1.4 yards each strip), I will sell in a bundle of 7 strips. This way, when you piece the strips together, you will have extra yardage to work with.

Final prices:

SHIPPED ANYWHERE IN THE US: $43.00 (this includes shipping) for the bundle
SHIPPED ANYWHERE OVERSEAS: $52.00 (this includes shipping) for the bundle

I think these are fair prices, and I think they are very close to screen acurate. PM me with inquiries and please let me know comments.

with extras, you can make Bugs Bunny or Bozo the Clown (dats a 1970s Lite-Brite reference!)

I'll PM with specifics, but post any general question on thread for all to enjoy!

how are you handling payment?

what's the thickness on these?

not the width; i'm trying to get at if it feels like garment leather, or is it stiff?

It is about 1 1/2 millimeter thick. It is a soft synthetic leather. It is not stiff and is actualy made in the same place many leather garments are made.

I went home lastnight and using the 4pcs that I got as samples, I used my SATANS MOTHERS vest (the only vest I had around) and using the 4 strips has almost enough to do the whole vest. The 6-7 pcs I will be sending should cover a vest and have some left over for other projects. I have not received any enquiries so the 4pcs I have might be all that is made (I may have them send me a few more pcs so I can make sure I have enough).

I recommend patience - not everyone checks these boards as diligently as do we

Also, with the main site not functioning, not everyone has made it back yet...

Can you get these made up any time you want or is it only for a limited period?
I'm still looking for a starter vest to convert so i'll eventually need some piping.  It won't be till the new year before I purchase anything tho.
