FISHMANPET posted:So, I'm looking for some steel (but not stainless steel) buckles to use for some leather restraints. I'm going to be treating them to be black so the specific type of metal is important. Any idea where I could find such a thing? Nickel and brass can both be treated with liver of sulfur (basically super-condensed hot springs) to turn black, so you're not just limited to steel. That having been said, the blackening steel process of "heat to red hot, quench in motor oil" is a lot more fun...

So, Tandy has a nice sale right now on harness leather (http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/store/9060-65.aspx) I'm a bit far out to go paw at some, so does anyone here have any impressions of the stuff? I'm looking to make some armor pieces for SCA heavy fighting and would like to know if that's better stuff than the saddle skirting side I've already got.
