I bought some of that splatter “1000D Cordura.” Straight up, that shit aint Cordura ™. I have never been a stickler for the brand names of anything but fuck man, this shit is hard nylon with an entirely different thread structure. It’s still just as durable for any for our use but there is a noticeable feel and sew difference than real cordura. I’m actually thinking about reaching out to my supplier to ask them whats up because they are relatively big and marketed it as “cordura” which is a trademark. I’d be interested to know either way.
ANYWAY, what made me start this thread.
I got that shit in yesterday. Knocked out a bar bag tonight. I was planning on using on my Stoemper because of the color scheme but it really didn’t match so I’ll probably just sell this one plus a few more I knock out. The photo is garbage but I’ll catch a few good photos in real daylight this week.
Honestly, mostly ebay. You can get black cordura for $9/yd shipped. I get the splatter stuff from Rockywoods. They’re a great supplier but their prices are kinda high and shipping is never less than like $15 so I try to load up on supplies when I need something they have.
Anza is SF based as well, I think.
I’m going to make a couple tool rolls today out of scrap to get a design down.
Meh, I’ve said too much already. I’ve bought their stuff and likely will again. But there are aspects of Swift I don’t care for. Call it personal pref.
I’ve liked the stuff I’ve purchased from them. I don’t like that I keep seeing instagram updates and no response to the email I sent them like four weeks ago (regarding trying to buy more stuff from them).
No but I just bought a pair of feedbags and own a tangle bag from them. I’m very impressed with the bags to date. The feedbags are better than the Revelate jobbers ATMO.
