It was some pre-dyed strap from Tandy leather. It is cow leather and it is vegetable tanned, but that is all I know. It was 1" wide. I asked the cleark if he could cut it down to 3/4" as the 1" looked way to wide. I got an edging tool to curve the edges, then I got edge dressing and a burnisher to smooth the edges. I bought all parts at Tandy, "d" rings, buckle, brass clips and hammer together rivets, along with the rivet setting tool. I could have almost bought a nice belt for what I spent, but I have been wanting to try my hand at leather work for some time now.
