Honour,

The Leather Factory is at 3847 E Loop 820 S. Their phone number is
817-496-4874. Head south on east Loop 820 and exit at E Berry Street. Turn
left on Berry and go under the highway. The Leather Factory will be off to
the right - I think you can get into their parking lot from Berry, even though
they actually front on to the service road which is one way the wrong way. 
Alternatively, go one more exit south of Berry (not sure of the street) and
come back up along the service road so you end up right in front of the
Leather Factory.

Tell them you're in the SCA and that you need heavy leather for armor. I would
go with at least 9-10 ounce. 7-8 ounce will work, but you'll need to pad it
quite a bit. 11-12 ounce is good and doesn't require much padding.  I  picked
up some last weekend that they referred to as "collata" sides (not sure about
the spelling), which were between 10 and 12 ounces, and priced nice - $49.95
for a side. They also have pre-cut straps of varying width and weight, which
are a lot easier than cutting your own from a side. Plus buckles, rivets,
tools, etc. They're used to SCA people in there and are very helpful, so don't
be afraid to ask questions.

Hope this helps.

Padraig
