microtech went for 100.

Microtech sold.

not the cobra, its wider than the cobra. You often see watch bands made out of this weave.

Quick question for you EDCers. Does anyone know if there is a specific name for the "weave" knot (maybe its not considered a knot?) that you see on some survival bracelets?

I want to make one and from what I read, this weave allows you to carry a longer length of cord then the normal cobra knot. But I cant find any good "how-to" sites for the weave. im thinking if I have an actual name for it I can find some good instructions. Instructables has a good one but since I dont have an account, it wont let me expand 80% of the pictures.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Whats up Sufu, Im trying to raise some funds for college. Im broke and need a few hundred bucks by April for school.

MORE PICS CAN BE FOUND IN THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!!!

Supreme FW '10 Wool new era. Navy blue with red box logo. american flag on side and world famous on back. Size 7 1/2. Brand new. Bought it and it was too big for my dome. has sat in the box in my closet ever since. I did remove the sticker.

$30usd

Lastly is a Nixon Rocker in brown leather. This was bought new by me and was worn ONCE. The watch is flawless. the only sign of wear is on the leather band were the buckle sits on it from the one time i wore it. besides that it can pass for new.

There's no brand to search for, but if you search for Swiss Pack or Swiss bag, etc. you should be able to find some.

I have had the best luck so far with "swiss salt and pepper rucksack". This search in google brings up TONS of results.

Mike, what is considered cheap when it comes to emu oil? the piercer at the shop I get tatted at is all about the emu for healing piercings. He gave me a shit load of it. Says 100% pure emu oil on the bottle. I may be able to buy some from him since he buys in large quantities. Lemme know what you would be willing to spend and Ill stop in there and see what I can do.

Ray, Im glad you posted this. I really dont like rucksacks at all but im in the market for a new bag (going back to college after years) and for some reason this ruck REALLY caught my attention. I actually just did some research and I found numerous sights saying things along the lines of "if you dont like strurdy and overbuilt bags, this bag is not for you." So what this means to me is this bag is a beast.

Not to mention they are cheap. I have found a few for about 50 bucks. I think Im going to try to get one even though a ruck isnt my cup of tea. Thanks again for sharing.

Anyone know a reliable place to get horse oil on the net? Seems like mink oil is the only oil you can get locally in the US...

Whats up all. My first SYB post.

last one

Any chance of a 24oz jacket any time soon?

Hi Mike, no problem, but as Mike Ch mentioned, I am in the UK, it arrived after the day he shipped it.

If it's any consolation, I've been planning the ROY comp since May, 28 people got theirs, all posted on 23 December, and mine ain't arrived yet! It seems a worse Christmas post than normal, maybe due to that earlier security scare as well as the weather. I ship quite a lot of eBay stuff, in general it's six days, but 14 isn't at all unusual, discounting holidays.

Thanks for the info man.

I have ordered a lot of stuff From Sumi. Hes a good guy(and is on SuFu). I just dont want to pay 67 bucks for one when I have all the fittings. I have all the brass clasps and fish hooks.... Thanks for trying Ray

Scasi, That wallet is nice.

I just bought 40 bucks worth of solid brass hardware (trigger clasps, Snap rings, etc) and now can not find any solid brass chain to make a chain for my wallet. I can not believe how impossible it has been to find some solid brass chain.

Paul, If you dont mind me asking, What country are you from and How long did it take you to get your belt from Terry?

I know Europe got hit with snow REAL bad in some parts and they told Terry that it was going to take weeks to get my belt to the USA. Then the US got hit with snow so bad there were major airports with 60% canceled flights. Terry Shipped out my belt December 22nd and still no sign of it. Just curious where you live and how long it took to get your belt with all this shitty weather. Thanks Paul.

BG, I prefer stamps on the inside. I like the outside to be kind of like a blank canvas for evo.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

I have to go thicker then what most consider thick. Like Kyles. I would destroy that thing. I have had quiet a few "thick" (by most peoples standards) leather wallets in my short 6 year construction career and the longest one has lasted is a year.

concrete, rebar, heavy equipment, all manage to do a number on my wallets. plus getting in and out of a bobcat or front loader 50+ times a day beat it up. I think Ill try to make one in the middle of what everyone suggested. Say around 8-10 outer, 5-7 inner and see how she goes.

Thanks again for everyone's insight. I appreciate it.

Figured Id throw you an offer from a poor guy. 300 shipped. If not (and I understand) good luck with the sweet coat.

thanks Corter.

Thanks buddy.

This thread is not a good influence on my wallet...

@Saintkeat

Visited camden a few months ago for the first time since the post fire-overhall, but couldn't locate Crispin's shop.

So bought a belt from his ebay shop especially for my roy contest jeans, made of english bridle in dark brown.

Very happy with it, looks solid and feels it.

Thanks for recommending

Dr, never herd of this guy. Can you link me to his ebay store or website so I can check him out? please and thank you.

Can go up to 15oz. Just the heavier you get, the harder its to bend, got to skive the bend more. Somewhere around 10oz. or less.

thanks slaw.

Corter, that womans wallet is beautiful. If my fiancee wasn't so hung up on her shitty coach stuff I would cop her one.

Got a question for any of the crafters in here. Corter, nicholas, obbi, etc. What is the typical weight of a heavy wallet?

For the past 6 months I have been always way too concious of F'ing up my FH at work (construction). I think I'm going to try and make a very simple wallet just for work. Just a bifold with a few card slots. I need to know what a good weight would be to make it nice and thick so it can take the punishment of construction.

Also, if anyone wants to sell me a 1'x1'ish sheet of such said veg tan that would be great. I really don't want to spend 150+ on a quality hide. I just don't craft that much.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Here's a few vintage belts I picked up in Chicago over the weekend:
