No problem buddy 👍

1 ½” wide - 10oz weight (4mm) thickness Skirting is a very firm leather - that doesn’t mean ‘hard’ per se, but it won’t feel as supple as harness leather for example. It’s a difficult leather to cut, and certainly not one I’d want to decorate with studs. I do like the finish and grain - very old school.

Wickett & Craig skirting leather at about 10oz with one of my favourite buckle designs secured with double cap rivets The tan and the brown versions are for sale if anyone is interested - they’ll be cut to your size and finished as per the black one which has sold

Wickett & Craig ‘American Vachetta’, and veg tan cobra skin both hand painted to give a vintage finish; solid brass hardware with antique finish (chemicals), 1950s glass

Broadly it’s to do with grading and demand. A pair of jeans (or just about any other item) will not grade successfully from the smallest size to the biggest size - so the manufacturer then has to make multiple patterns. This adds to development costs … and could well impact fabric choices / costs. The pattern is developed from what will be the most popular sizes (and likely a particular body type - this is an issue) so the manufacturer will be even more reluctant to create a new pattern for would have the lowest demand. Pretty much what Kiya said. There are potential other issues but safe to say it’s not the most straightforward route to just add extra size availability to a product.

Just put good waxed cotton laces on them - or some rawhide strips

Worst laces ever offered on a pair of shoes or boots. I replaced them all and threw those out … except for one pair which I sent back to RDT telling them how bad they are.
