Saddlery & heavy leather goods
Cotton sewing thread
for leather stitching.
For saddlery production, belts, bags and other heavy leather stitching.
For manufacturers, wholesalers and trade suppliers.
Hand stitching and machine compatibility
Our glazed cotton sewing thread is used in saddlery, footwear, heavy leather goods and repair work. It is suitable for hand and machine stitching, with the final choice depending on the leather, needle and equipment. Samples let you assess the combination before ordering.
Assess the complete seam, not just the thread
Check handling, stitch formation, seam appearance and performance on your finished leather article. High tensile strength is one part of suitability; your material and stitching process also matter. Evaluate samples under your own working conditions before approving a production specification.

Our published size codes identify the available range, not a universal recommendation for every seam. Share your current thread construction and stitching method so we can discuss a suitable sample selection.
From cotton yarn to finished sewing thread
We work from already-spun cotton yarn, then twist, glaze and wind it into finished stitching thread. Our proprietary finishing process produces a smooth, moisture-resistant surface for hand and machine stitching.
What to include in your sample request
Send your current thread reference, size or construction, stitching method, required colours, approximate order quantity and delivery country. For machine stitching, include the machine model and needle specification where available.
Custom sizes and colours can be discussed on enquiry. We offer free samples for evaluation, with no obligation to order.
