thanks guys. last saturday, i happened to drive by this mysterious looking shack near my work. i casually walked in to find out it was a store with a bunch of vintage levi's and other fun items that's been in business for more than 35 years at the same location. robert, the owner, told me the building used to be a switch-house for local railways since the 1890s.

Is this ruf cut? Their site sucks, but I like what they did to your belt.

this is a pic from their website and a link to it, but as ang said the site is pretty messy. but i think there's a certain charm to it because of it.

Dirty Jobs is on right now and they're in a leather tannery.

First person to tan their own hide will get infinite rep for the rest of my stay on SuFu. My god, the process is disgusting.

I saw that a few weeks ago. It really puts the cost of leather items into perspective.

good job getting him to make you that wallet, wilkes. he was a massive douche to me when i mentioned anything other than what his site showed. the belt is interesting too chicken, fits well with your look in the pic shown, and i'm sure with your beautiful boots.

here is the wallet and rein i made before and after 2 months:

i've oiled it 2x, once new, and once a few weeks ago, which helped get some indigo off of it. you may also notice the way i attached the rein to the metal clasps. the first version sucked visually, and structurally, as it caught on stuff around the house and detached from the metal. the new way involves ending the wrap with a stitch. now when i catch on stuff around the house, i drag the furniture! the cord i used does suck though, it gets fuzzy and i can't figure out how to tame it. any suggestions? i have tried gum tragacanth, but not beeswax yet.

quick update, going on about 3.5 mos of daily use. The tan part is treated which is why it doesn't turn that dark caramel color.

[kenthenoob]

that's really nice, rome!

here's the pics you requested:

[rome1]
