Hi
I was thinking of getting my local shoe repair man to make me a pair of door check straps. I have not got one to model them on, but I vaguely recollect that they have a strengthening material sandwiched between the leather. Does anyone know if this is correct and if so what might be a good strengthening material to use?
All I have is this picture to go on.
Many thanks
Philip

Seat belt material works well and is easy to source...
