Broke when used as shoelace.boat shoes, vintage boots, etc

Didn't cost a huge amount, but broke with a very moderate pull. Broke at a very light pull which was significantly less than usual for a textile lace.If you need function, go with something else. I bought these to lace up vintage waxed split leather boots (prison boot style) so the look is important. If you want the look, I think they will be OK, but don't expect to cinch them up really tight.Fortunately, even though the lace broke, there was enough in the package to make another.I would…

Pros
  • Worked perfect for trim on my elk hide rocker!!
Cons
  • May fade over time

Good for my uses, YMMV though.

I will say that this product is not a continuous cord, as others have mentioned here as well. While that is true, I am primarily making small lanyards with this cord, and the fact that is breaks off into consistent lengths is not really a bad thing at all for me, especially since the length it produces works quite well for most of the designs that I prefer to use for my knots and my beads.That being said, the leather itself is quite good, though not exceptional quality. It holds together…

Pros
  • I have no comments it is as described. Using it for my ren fair stuff.
Cons
  • Needed about a foot more had to buy more

NOT FOR JEWELRY USE!

I DO NOT recommend using this product for bare skin contact. I purchased it to make pendants, but as shown in the photos, the dye and wax on the lacing came off on my fingers and hands while I was working with it. I can only imagine what my neck would look like after sweating with this rawhide around my neck, not to mention staining my shirt collar. I even tried washing the leather, but the dye just kept coming out. It's fine for crafting, but definitely NOT wearing on the body.

Pros
  • Excellent cord. Durable. Beautiful. Fast shipping.
Cons
  • Too short of a length for some projects

Stiff and brittle in my review

The cord came very stiff and felt like it would crack if I tried to bend it more than 90 degrees.I tried using Horseman's One-Step to soften it, as that has worked on other leathers I've owned, but while it made it slightly more pliable, it did not soften it. I now have the cord in a bag with oil, and I'm hoping that will make it softer and supple but I'm not holding my breath.All I wanted to do with it was make a zipper pull for my purse, either as a simple knot or perhaps even a tassel…

Pros
  • Too stiff for my purpose.
Cons
  • It broke with in a week. Almost lost my favorite locket.

Nice piece of leather but in accurate web description

Nice quality piece of leather strap however my color is dark brown that I ordered and that's not 100% accurate. It's a dark brown leather but it's also got black on the other side. Which does not say that in the description. I did not want black on any of my leather for the project I'm doing. Another yet in accurate description on Best Buy. Which is about 90% of the time

Pros
  • The leather cord is very nice looking; however, it's a little hard or unbendable.
Cons
  • It says flat but it’s square I can’t use it for what I wanted it for. Because it’s not flat.

Only one issue: my feedback

Combat Flip Flop medallion for the wrist has a flaw of a tie rope that falls apart in a year from wear and tear. My solution is this leather.My only issue is the jewelry, the size of a quarter, with two holes the width of this leather, flips. Initially, the thread was so non-compliant and stiff I didn't think I could use this for the intended purpose.Several weeks of continuous wear relaxed the leather a tiny bit. The non-slip knot in the back hasn't come loose.The medallion still flips but…

Pros
  • Nice strong leather for my stained glass suncatchers. Love the color too.
Cons
  • Just not pliable for slipknot leather cord, needs more flexibility.

Soft, Easy to Use Leather Strips

Very nice, soft leather straps. The leather smell and a chemical smell is really strong (really stinks) when I first opened the package, but know I'm super sensitive to smells, so this is probably just me. After it sat out for a while, the smell was almost completely gone, so I really wouldn't worry about that too much. I mention it only because if you open it and smell it too, I don't want you to think it lingers and stays around. It does seem to go away.It's easy to cut, doesn't fray on the…

Pros
  • This product is as described.
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in professional or high-end jewelry making

Exactly as listed on my review.

This is a nice roll of leather. I am using it for drawstring in purse and it is almost too stiff for that. I probably should have bought craft suede string.

Pros
  • Leather strap was thick enough and strong enough to make my dog harness. Good value for the money!
Cons
  • trying to use for a plant pot hanger

Worked fine in my review

We both this to replace the string on our glass Chemex coffee maker, as Chemex's own strings were sold out and backed ordered forever, and far more expensive. This worked out great as did the far more affordable price point. Would recommend it for the task.

Pros
  • No issues at all I would purchase again.
Cons
  • May not hold up well over time compared to other materials

Not for use as a twine or to be under stress

Maybe there’s some decorative solution that this material is up for. Unfortunately, I wanted to use this for shoestrings. Cheap and not good for that purpose.

Pros
  • LolliBeads
Cons
  • May rub off color onto other materials

It is what it is. best in my review

Quality product at a great price. Sturdy, as long as you can avoid some of the connecting pieces. It’s still sturdy, but with intense stress it does start to break there.

Pros
  • The crisp, clean look of this braiding string makes it a great choice for modern and minimalist jewelry designs
Cons
  • May not be suitable for creating large or chunky designs

Sturdier than expected.

I needed replacement cord for hanging a wooden pizza peel and to replace the cord on my Chemex coffee maker.This is exactly what I needed and a bit sturdier than I expected.

Pros
  • The 1.5 mm diameter of this cord is just the right size for braiding, weaving, and creating intricate patterns and designs
Cons
  • May not be suitable for creating certain types of jewelry, such as tiaras or hair accessories

Leather is stiff and hard to tie in knots

Have had other very similar leather cord that is much softer and more pliable. Not great for my purposes but it works. That's my review.

Pros
  • The round shape of the cord makes it easy to work with and ensures that your finished jewelry will have a smooth and polished look
Cons
  • May be too thick to fit through small bead holes

Quality at a great price

I was happy when I saw the quality of the leather cord. I soaked it first to get the dye to stop bleeding. I used to restring my clutch and handbrake cover on my Harley Davidson Motorcycle. Did the job perfectly and I trimmed off the excess I did not want.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • It’s smaller than 2mm

Remaining neutral on this

I'm giving 3 stars because I'm not sure what to think about it. Thanks for attention. 3 is in the middle and I consider neutral.

Pros
  • It was ok but the color was a little lighter than I anticipated. It was also pretty hard.
Cons
  • Not as durable as other materials

Very handy material

I use this leather to make loop handles for various grill accessories. That's my review. They look good and make sturdy hangars.

Pros
  • Happy Customer
Cons
  • Can easily get tangled

Real Leather good for me

This is a great product. I just bought the 4mm and should have bought the 3mm (laces). Real leather doesn't stretch much and this is definitely real leather.

Pros
  • 3 x 1 x 3 inches
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in outdoor or rugged environments

BETTER THAN DESCRIBED

When I was leaving " Seller Feedback ", the question was " Was product described by Seller "?. , there were 2 answers to choose from .1- As Descibed or 2 - Not as Described.Well there should be a 3rd choice to answer .And the answer is " Better Than Described "!This cord is high quality leather and when you remove from package - the smell of the leather hits you like a ton of bricks ! ( love that smell )!I will be using on my leather knife sheaths . The photo I submitted is a pic of my new bad…

Pros
  • The affordable price of this braiding string makes it an excellent value for anyone who loves to craft and create their own unique jewelry pieces
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in projects that require multiple strands

Lightsaber Wrap: my feedback

I used this to wrap one of my plainer more basic sabers that I got here on Best Buy. I had enough to wrap the hilt, braid a tassel, and wrap a smaller section near the emitter. this lightsaber is a smaller 7/8 if anyone needs an idea of measurements. It worked well and the color of the cord is great. I accidentally snapped it once during the wrap by pulling too tight but I had plenty to fix that mistake.

Pros
  • The 10-meter (10-yard) length of this cord gives you plenty of material to work with for all your crafting needs
Cons
  • Can easily become misshapen

My Cats' Favorite Toy

Multiple cats like to play at once. I toss it to them, and they take turns attacking the end of the string. They surprisingly wait their turn while watching the other cats play.Can also be tied to something for solo play. Or sometimes I tie a kicker toy to one end with a square knot so they can bite and kick while I tug on it.Very economical, lasts for years. Comes with one super long string which can be cut in half for two cat toys per purchase. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • May not be flexible enough for certain designs
