Ritza 25 Polyester Tiger Thread 0.8mm.

25 Meter Spool.

Ritza 25, more commonly known as Tiger Thread, is the gold standard for hand-stitching leather goods—and the 0.8mm variant hits a sweet spot for many fine leather projects. Manufactured in Germany by Julius Koch, this polyester thread is highly regarded for its unmatched strength, consistency, and visual appeal. Pre-waxed and flat-braided, it offers excellent grip in the stitch and a smooth hand-sewing experience.

This 25-meter spool of 0.8mm thread is ideal for a wide variety of small-to-medium projects such as wallets, card holders, notebook covers, and lighter-weight belts or watch straps. Its balanced thickness adds just enough presence to your stitch lines without overpowering more delicate designs.

Features:

  • Size: 0.8mm (ideal for finer leathercraft).
  • Length: 25 meters per spool.
  • Material: Braided polyester core with durable synthetic wax coating.
  • Finish: Pre-waxed for smooth hand-stitching and consistent tension.
  • Construction: Flat-braided—lays flat in the stitch groove for a clean, professional appearance.
  • Durability: Highly resistant to abrasion, UV rays, and moisture.
  • Origin: Made in Germany by Julius Koch.

Why Choose Tiger Thread?

Tiger Thread has become a staple among leatherworkers for its reliability and ease of use. The pre-waxed coating makes saddle-stitching more efficient while reducing knotting and fraying. The 0.8mm size is particularly versatile—thin enough for smaller goods but durable enough to hold up under stress.

Best For:

  • Wallets and card holders.
  • Small bags and pouches.
  • Notebook covers and portfolios.
  • Watch straps and slim belts.
  • General hand-stitched leather accessories.

Whether you're a seasoned craftsman or a beginner looking to elevate your hand-stitching game, Ritza 25 in 0.8mm delivers professional results every time. Stock up in multiple colors to complement your projects and bring out the detail in your leatherwork.
