Thanks_M8

^The black denimes are black/black denim or with a white weft, mate?

^ this! But still, 60s 501Z sounds cool imo. But I'm just waiting for tcb to make 501Z repros tbh

^unsanforized candiani denim afaik

^same thought. Had the same thing happen on an old pair of sdas, missing the patch has made them half a size larger since it shrunk and hardened that much

Totally understand your point. To me function kind off comes first, then comes my ability to work with what I got. With the tools I got, placing rivets and studs precisely is kind off a pain, so sewing goes a long way for me and offer similiar strength imo. It's just kind off why I got started in the whole leather-thingy, wanted a wallet that would last, look better than what I got and be very functional, still got that functional approach to a lot of things. For example the last belt I made was made with left over straps from a few belts I made for friends and family. Got a shorter piece of veg-tan, had some leftover cognac-colored leather as well, only thing I wanted for sure was the buckle-combo I got vintage. Sewed the buckle in veg-tan and the veg-tan to the cognac-strap, looks great in the end, imo.

^Patience is key to great work. Everything I rushed turned out not satisfactory for my standards, but luckily was only for me Will probably do something with scraps once I get the time, still have some vintage red goat, orange chrome tanned stuff and some crazy horse left over, maybe even a strap or two in something more interesting. I shall get thinking and drawing in my free time

Master of western style belts @Duke Mantee. How long does it take to make one of those? Thinking of something similar with fancy stitchwork.

Congrats @beautiful_FrEaK!

^ detach and resew them on

Took a stroll around the old airfield 2 minutes away from my block. Its situated between the old canadian and US quarters in Karlsruhe and is now a nature conservation area for birds and insects. Lots of rabbits live here and get hunted with falcons to control the population. Goats are used to mow the grass. Else it's mostly bushes and weeds

^definitely, but let's see how high the pile is the following months
