Corter Wallet at 5 months. Never oiled or tanned intentionally, just worn. I washed all of the indigo and dirt off last night with some saddle soap I bought at a western wear place up in the mountains.

You can see the original color in the "bikini line" in the third photo.

Thought I'd share this because I'm retiring it pretty soon as it has burnt its way through three jean pockets.

Brand new.

After a seven hour tan + Obenauf's HD LP.

After two years + another application of HD LP at around the one year mark.

I just got a wallet and two reigns from unlucky, the guy does great work! He's really easy to deal with too. I gave him some specs and had it in around a week. Great stuff!

I think this guy is on to something!

Har har har.

Here's my Clint Eastwood belt after about a month of actual wear (I have too many belts). Shown with a fresh scrap of natural leather.

Nice thing about this is that the stitching will contrast more as the leather darkens.

I don't know if this has been discussed here before, but I just made a quick little guide on washing leather jackets to change the wash, drape and hang of the jackets on my blog. It's something we do a lot at Robert Geller, and there's some good little info washing leathers and the nature of it from a friend of mine.

Should have ironed it with a dry fabric on top to prevent overheating.

[NatseOklim]

Before

After

The surface of the leather started wearing away in a couple of places and looked reeeeeeeally ugly, so today I rubbed all of it off. Still doesn't look great but looks better I think.

[corter]

wow, that looks awesome james!
