Not much difference once they've been tanned. But that photo isn't one that I took. I found it on the net when I went looking for a photo to illustrate the "Mexican Braid" pattern. Actually, it's not even a good illustration, but I was too lazy to photograph my own...
I like to make the Mexican Braid with a slightly thicker lace as it fills in the spaces between the cords and makes a nicer looking edge. This one in the photo was probably used on the edge of a saddle seat, and they needed an edge that was flatter for the comfort of the rider.
