Where to find fabric for strops?

Hi all,

Hope everyone’s doing well. As of the last few months, I’ve been making my own strops, even putting a “Make your own” option on my Etsy shop, and it’s been a joy! Being able to test out all these different leathers and their unique draws, including horsehide, roo, bridle, buffalo and more, makes it a doozy. But I’ve been wondering where I can find some good fabric options, particularly cotton and linen? I found some on Ebay, but I’m not sure if those listings will renew. Thanks!

And for those interested, here are a couple strops I just made, inspired by the SRD models. To get smoother cuts, I designed templates for the caps and handles on my Silhouette app, then had someone cut them out of acrylic.

Also, would I have to post some more to put a link to my Etsy shop? Or can I just do it anytime? Just so I’m not breaking the BST rules. Thanks again!
