Leather Belts and jackets (Tillicoultry FK13)

I’m currently trying to build both a Pirate and Viking costume of a reenactment type quality. I have a friend who works with leather that’s suggested he can help me fashion certain items. Getting real used leather would be most helpful as it will already be aged and supple etc. No one wants to look like a brand new from the shop Viking or pirate. So any unneeded belts or jackets, basically the bigger, wider the better. A large long leather jacket would be amazing! Can collect at various time to suit yourself.
