I like #2.

I don't like the Lee-inspired Ande patch. Makes it look like a knock-off.

What's the best android phone on the market now? I know this might be dumb, but an Android over an iPhone?

Any men's ex or Leon?

I used to live in Portland, but I'm now in Vietnam and regularly go around SEA for business purposes.

Summer around these parts is on a different level.

I'll trust him on his denim construction, but denim details (specifically weight) and price is subjective.

Have the details been ironed out yet? Price, denim details, cuts? I'll confirm once that's been posted.

Lightweight For Summer Please!

I would love 13-14oz denim. I live in a humid country and with summer coming I would need something lightweight.

Where does Self Edge take the thigh measurements? Is it at the crotch like BiG?

Anyone know where I can see full measurements for the high waters, slim chinos and shorts? Union doesn't provide thigh measurements and I got bikers thighs.

What are the measurements for these jeans for a 34 waist? I realize that I can't buy these, but I'm looking for a pair with similar measurements.

I am still confused as to what duck canvas is.

Wikipedia says it is linen canvas, but LVC has those duck trousers which are 100% cotton.

Can someone please post macro shots?

Made a camera strap for my friend.

Black vegetable tanned cowhide from New Zealand.

I would absolutely love to see some handmade shoes, Jig.

Excellent stuff both Jig and RB, very cool to have some new posters in the thread.

Nice to know new users are welcome here!

Beautiful! What leather? I love the color.

Thanks for more pics, they're just fine. Love the zipper on that.... very nice man!

I'm actually going to replace them with leather pullers

more canvas. Been doing lots of leather, but nothing really new lately.

I did a smaller rivet for the pockets, and then a leather washer of sorts that I double punched out of scrap. Should look nice when it's darkened a bit.

Nice, can you post a close-up view of the canvas? I've been wanting to make canvas bags but don't know what to use.

Here is what my neighbor Jay, who is a full time shoemaker, is making for me:

He said it will be finished soon, I'm excited! He said he's done lasting and next is attaching the sole.

Great work R.B.! Work looks really clean. I like the design! I'll try to post some of my hand-made stuff here too. I've only done camera straps for my daughter though. Also, my neighbor does handmade shoes, and though it's DIY (like me, he does everything from pattern making to sewing etc.) I don't know if I can put it in this thread, so just let me know.

I just did a quick wiki of veg and chrome tan, and it said that if I soak it in hot water and let it dry and it cracks, it's veg tan. So I did it with a swatch of leather and it cracked. I don't know if that's good or not.

Sure, here are some other pictures. Sorry, I don't have a very good camera...but then again if I had a good one, I wouldn't know how to use it either!

Nice group shot! Where are you guys from? Asia, I suppose?

Corter,

Thank you! I have several machines.

For heavier/thicker leather like nubuck, I use an old Juki and a Pfaff. I don't know what model the Pfaff is, it's quite old. For lighter material like calf or canvas I have a Singer 20-U. Another is a Mitsubishi DB-170.

Hello all. Been making bags for a while now. Here's one of my latest.
