A top‑quality braided thread for leatherworkers, saddlers, bag makers and craft professionals who want durable, smooth‑feeding thread with a refined look and feel. This Tiger Thread 0.8 mm — offered on a 500 m spool in classic black (JK23) — is a waxed braided polyester thread that combines strength, abrasion resistance and excellent stitch presentation, making it ideal for both functional seams and decorative hand‑stitched details.

Braided polyester threads like Tiger Thread are highly regarded in leathercraft for their balanced performance characteristics: the braided structure adds toughness and flexibility, while the wax coating helps the thread glide effortlessly through needle holes, reduces fraying and drag, and allows stitches to lie flat on the surface of the material. The 0.8 mm diameter provides a good balance between robustness and stitch profile — making it suitable for medium‑weight leatherwork such as wallets, bags, belts and harness components that benefit from both strength and stitch aesthetics.

Key Features:

• 0.8 mm braided polyester construction — strong and resilient for demanding hand‑stitched seams.

• 500 m spool — generous length suited to larger projects and regular workshop use.

• Waxed finish — smooth feeding with reduced drag and fraying.

• Classic black (JK23) — versatile colour that complements a wide range of leather tones.

• Durable and wear‑resistant — helps maintain seam integrity under everyday use.
