Here is my 5 month (I think) Tanner. It's sitting beside the first one I bought which was too small!

[Knoll]

And this is my 4 month old last Crops Wings. The fine scratches appeared when I started wearing my S0500XX which have slubs on the inside of the back pockets.

good job !

how do you keep it away from the indigo :confused:

[40ozprophet]

maybe he doesnt wear jeans..

[corter]

not my lanyard i dont think, I use larger leather to braid with and cut off the ends most of the time. it looks nice though, i'd be interested to se who made it.

that redmoon came out super nice as well herwintan

i dont like those too they keep falling off

[herwintan]

Thank you guys!

The skull wallet rope was too long for me (66cm I think) and they don't have it in stock, so I made the rope myself.

I do wear jeans but I usually take out my red moon everytime I sit because it's so thick that it hurts my back. Maybe the indigo doesn't transfer that much if you don't sit on your wallet:confused:

Anyway, here's another wallet rope that I made, flat head style:

also, a keychain from leftover materials:

[rome1]

keychain is awesome! wallets not bad either.

Nice work on the braids, but I don't really like how you redmoon turned out to be honest. It seems to have just turned a darker colour, not much character apart from that.

Ofcourse that's just me and if you're happy with it then that's what it's about...

I agree with this, but to each his own, also, it seems rather dry, but that could just be the picture...

brother's key holder

New

That key holster is kinda cool.

Might have to wip one of those up

[Tiro]

my 'spotted' RM belt again after a light oiling with wesco bee-oil

[Unlimited Soran]

how many pockets does this have?

how does this thing hold coins? won't they slip out?

my keyhook has fallen off so many times...

if you have a big belt loop, it helps!

what i did to mine was i tied a rubberband to close off the gap where my keys are, and it helps to close the gap between the hook and my belt loops. i hope that made sense.

has anyone else's keyhook tarnished around the center ball? looks kinda cool.

here's an update on my flathead coin case i don't ever use anymore.

how it used to look:

[fattybfat]

i m interested in those FH as well, but dont know the answer of your question Anyone can answer?

the spotted area seems to fade alot after oiling..

[kenthenoob]

i'm pretty sure the pictures answer your question if you use your imagination...

see that big hole? you put coins in there and they fall to the other side.

when you button it, the center folds and no coins fall through.

sounds simple enough, right?

i don't know what that pocket with "the flat head" is for, though.

[beatle]

Tiro - that's one sweet belt.....

[hobonick]

the black monster with the leather strap looks really good! i'm guessing you notched some 22mm straps cause they look wider than 20mm.

did it come natural or tanned?
