[guywithpants]

[halberdklown]

posted this in PYC creations as well, but thought some here would also love the craftsmanship, worn and loved for the past weekend since i got it, nonstop

just got this and can not stop taking it everywhere i go

wallet handsomely made by our very own unlucky

wallet chain poorly made by me

[thaiison]

almost 1 year old corter belt, not that much of evo, but since i snapped some photos of my 1 year old eternals i might as well post this.

[Charlie Delta]

Stopped wearing this, replaced it with a SC garrison belt.

Some pics of how it looks now:

roughly a year, every day.

Suntanned and oiled when new.

For comparison with the same belt but from the current collection, 95% sure that the same leather was used.

Pic of my old Flat Head mid length and Flat Head wallet reign, in my Samurai s5000bk.

^ wow that kind of discourages me from buying that chain now...

Has anyone seen Digress leather goods in Japan or does anyone own anything? I saw some in a shop last week while I was there and it is totally insane looking. A lot of heavy tooling and exotic skins, but the quality looks amazing.

Here is an example:

[edmond]

i think theyre a bit expensive but yeah ive seen them in ueno

[kenthenoob]

^ wow that kind of discourages me from buying that chain now...

i've had it for over a year and it'd always get caught on something or i'd be laying down and stretch it as i roll around. the part connected that attaches to my wallet is thinned out now due to all the stretching. it's neat, but i wish the other end wouldn't mess up like that. still holding up though.

[neilmorr]

I really would like to try my hand at making some custom leather goods. Any of the resident leather experts on sufu have any suggestions on how to get started? Any good books?

[fre-co]

Here is my Redmoon after about 10 or 11 months. Lots of indigo stains.

[gonegonegone]

hwo did you treat it initially?

[fre-co]

I used the redmoon oil and tanned it for a day. It got rained on though.

[shekki]

[Dboon]

woah im sure that will create some nice backpocket fades, than into some holes.. or the bumps aint that bad?

4 weeks ago but...it doesn't take long at all (definitely less than a week) for ostrich quill follicles to flatten out to insiginficance.

..

[Orion]

Hollows Leather & Flathead, a few months I guess...? Loving both.

Flathead bracelet from SE.

[neilmorr]

Nice Orion. Now I really can't wait to get my wallet from Hollows.

[chantheman]

just treated some old timberlands with some mink oil.

before

after

didnt realize how dark (right shoe) they would get after applying it.

[jayel]

Where is everyone copping those leather wallet chain esque things from? My key chain broke and i'm looking for something to replace it; hopefully one of those. Anywhere online?

[Dead_Wizard]

Peasant status reins available at http://www.crazycanadianleather.com/Accessories.html

[gonegonegone]

how did you guys initially treat your skulls wallets?

[Dick Danger]

I acted like I cared. Then once it was emotionally involved I said I only liked it for its looks and left it in a crumpled crying heap on the front stoop.

[guywithpants]

^and then you go for the sister to top it off

[themexican]

i just got this redmoon 2000 M, it is a little bit bigger then the skull. the color on the skull is actually somewhere between the darker picture and the lightest one.

sorry pics are out of order

[M.O.A]

London tan evo

9 months, no oil or tanning on this London Tan Standard belt/ compared with the same leather without wear.

I love the handle and color of the english bridle leathers

[CJsmalls]

always nice to see evo of colored leathers, looking good.

got myself a natural/black hardware Tanner belt a few weeks back, the leather is quality. I can already see some nice color developing, will post when it gets more interesting

[kenthenoob]

^ wow that kind of discourages me from buying that chain now...

lol, you should see it now. it's even more stretched out.

i gotta remember to put my wallet back in my pocket so it doesn't get caught around the arm rest and stretch.
