This thread, manufactured by Julius Koch in Denmark is accepted as being the very best for hand sewing leather. (Also known as Ritza 25)

It is a pre-waxed, flat, braided polyester thread. It's exceptionally strong, sews easily and lies flat providing a better look and more protection than your typical round threads.

- Very light leather in gloves, wallets, etc is best sewn with 0.6mm thread and 004 needles
- For light leather we have 0.8mm Tiger thread, use 002 or 1/0 needles
- For the majority of jobs we recommend 1mm thread and 1/0 or 2/0 needles.
- For thicker leather we recommend 1.4mm Tiger thread and 3/0 needles.

All samples are wrapped around coroplast to eliminate tangling, and sent through the mail.

See our listing for John James needles, a perfect complement for Tiger thread.

- This is now the only thread I use for hand stitching! Great thread and awesome service!

- I don't use a great deal of this thread, but when I do need it, Cy has proven to be a reliable, responsible seller. If I absolutely need a specific size or color, this has become my go-to store. Check out his leather bags!

- Fast shipping, wonderful customer service

- Awesome thread! Awesome store! Thanks!

- I am a repeat customer and couldn't be happier to shop here (:

- I have been working with leather for a number of years and
up until now have been using old stock Barbour's 6 cord linen
thread that I found on eBay and got all they had. Tiger thread is going to be what I will be using from now on.
I was amazed at how fast I got my order. 2days. That's faster
then some mail that is sent to me from the same town I live in!
Thank you, I will be ordering from you again.

- Leatherwurx delivered my purchase in blazing time. The Tiger Thread is accurate to my order. I have already used it on a few products of mine, and it looks great!
