I just can't bring myself to wear alligator. It might have something to do with the fact that I grew up in Louisiana and knew many of them personally.Originally Posted by RSS
I've known cows personally yet still found them delicious.

Apparently this site (http://www.saratogasaddlery.com/prod...ts-535-78.html) sells "hornback" croc, which is the best in the world - peepage:Originally Posted by Bull

In spite of the fact that my first serveral posts were a tad light-hearted ... I understand where you are coming from. Just forgive the dangling preposition.
These are the times I don't hesitate to call on others including my tailors, shirtmakers, etc ... and ask if they have any leads. Perhaps you have ... but if not ... you might be surprised.

what is tubo? google was not my friend.Originally Posted by Douglas
It's a belt that, rather being a strip of leather to show sewn to another as backing, is a wider strip rolled in a tube and pressed flat. That way even the side you can't see is made of the good stuff.

Makes sense, like a one-piece croc-only belt.
Analogy would be like a true seven-fold tie where it's just a large piece of silk?

sounds interesting. do you really have them or just joking?Originally Posted by lee_44106
Really have them but don't carry them in house due to the cost and demand. There is no backing, the front and back are the same. Crocodile pattern is better looking than alligator IMO. The size/scale is different. I know better than to joke in a Foo thread.
