    I'm not familiar with your area, but check for a Tandy's leather store, or a shoe repair place (if they still have those places), or a western store, a feed store, a custom furniture store,,,,,,,,,,,just don't go into any Leather Bars looking for a strop,,

    Tandy has some nice strap/belt leather different widths up to 3".
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    For linen look at old trashed leather strops on the bay. The linen on those is what I use. They clean up real well with some elbow grease and I like that they have an already broke in feel to them.
