Main material:
Red 1000D Cordura
Grey 1000D Cordura
Orange tarpaulin
Transparent blue paddling pool plastic
Translucent blue paddling pool plastic (like the shoulder bag)
Marbled white paddling pool plastic
Purple lilo plastic
Lots of various patterned curtain and cotton materials (mostly floral)
Brown leather jacket suede
Black leather jacket
Dirty white extra strong truck tarp
Webbing:
50mm seatbelt in silver and black (various weave patterns)
50mm extra heavy duty black webbing
40mm & 25mm polypropylene webbing
50mm webbing in blue and white
Side release clips/buckles
Most side release clips are Duraflex or similar. So far no issues with them, I could also get Milspec on request, but it’s a lot more money per unit.
Zips:
I have most colours in long sizes, so I can cut down to fit on request, or grab whatever comes first. Some are recycled and lots are NOS vintage zips. Some YKK and some other European brands.
Thread:
I’ll mostly use Coats Epic in pink for hidden seams. It is very strong but not unbreakable by hand.
For heavyweight material I use even stronger thread that you can’t break by hand.
For finishing the webbing I use black, silver or brown heavyweight thread.
I also have a few other colours of thread, but mainly the pink Epic, or else heavyweight silver, black or brown.
If you’d like something out of a particular material, I can see what i can find or else you can provide me with it.
