Leather Cord, Braided Bolo

Braided Bolo Leather Cord

Our Braided Bolo Cord is machine-woven to create a tight, braided weave that gives the cord clean texture and dimension. The hollow core keeps it flexible for knotting, wrapping, and decorative applications. The leather bolo cord is made from top grain leather that is center cut from the hide and naturally oiled for additional softness.

What is leather cord?

Leather cord and lace are long, thin strips of leather that are durable and flexible. The material is commonly used for bracelets, necklaces, beading, drawstrings, hatbands, bolo ties, stitching, laces, woven goods, tassels, fringe, piping, and repair.

What are splices?

Like leather straps, leather cord is a natural product made from cow hide and can only be as long as the animal itself. Splices are when cord from multiple hides are glued together to look like a continuous piece. While this may seem like a good thing, it creates a weak point in the cord. Without splices, you know where the weak point is and can work around it. Our leather cord does not contain splices. Instead, you can clearly see where one piece comes to an end and another begins.
