    The dark? Good way to put it but sometimes "ya gotta do, what ya gotta do", right? Better to have it together rather than allowing it to unravel further. I have been working with leather for almost 40 years and am shocked at the fact that the natural linen thread has nearly vanished. The cost has had to go up and the artificial thread is a good deal less expensive.

    For Barbour's linen thread - the best - see Campbell-Randall at:

    Barbours LINEN: 5 Cord, Left Twist, Natural

    I know, expensive but worth it.
