I usually dont use leather at all. I sell hoks for 45-55 bucks at conventions and most people still think thats too expensive. You have to keep in mind that most convention go'ers don't collect high-end replicas so anything higher than 25-30 bucks will lose their interests.I strap all my hoks with cheap elastic. That way I'm not losing money. However, sometimes there will be select fans who will pay higher amounts for leather, so I make a few sets in advance and bring along a rivet gun, just incase <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" />
