Evolution of Leather Goods: Before and After Pictures


Recommended Posts

This is a little awkward, and confusing...

Are you sure that wallet is from Corter?

The concho is definitely one of his, but the detailing and the stitching look like mine.

I could certainly be wrong, but I think I made that.

Eric? Thoughts?

Edit: After checking my flickr, I think it's this one here:

Were you the original buyer?

From my knowledge, maybe I am wrong, but I thought using direct heat on leather is a bad idea.

I applied some Pecard's to a used Skull wallet recently, and I'm finding that the leather didn't take to it as well as I thought. Is using a blow dryer a good idea?

This isn't all leather, but I thought this would be a nice place to post this. Here is my Swiss rucksack (?) that I have been using for the last 4 or so years. When I bought it the straps were completely black and wouldn't bend at all. I treated the leather once with Skidmore's and the leather has been strong and supple ever since.

I really like the construction on the shoulder straps:p><p>And every piece of leather that is attached to the canvas is also backed by another piece of leather. <img src=Picture 563 by ray.wendolowski, on Flickr[/img]

If you see one of these on ebay, snatch it up. They are super strong and very useful.
