Evolution of Leather Goods: Before and After Pictures

[zenii]

wow, the purple faded beautifully, not to mention the rest of the wallet.

[Farhad]

Some great items on this thread.

Here are some quick and dirty pics of the leather goods that are in rotation.

Every item (expect for the Red Moon wallet obviously) was made by a close friend mostly of vintage materials, so

there's history behind the materials and the making of it.

This lighter case was custom made from Red Wing leather.

This belt was made by my good friend. It's made of untanned Cordovan leather. I've worn it almost everyday for a year and a half. I have never treated it or tanned it.

the brass buckle is from a WWII ammo pouch

you can barely see some of the blueish green oxidation of the brass getting on the leather

and the blue from the denim rubbing off

Leather cuff was also made by my good friend and is made of WWII ammo leather

Cheers!!!

Made a new wallet today to match my Clint Eastwood belt. I've been wearing this belt more lately, and it's been ages since I made anything for myself!

[ramzy_haidar]

guys,can you show me where's the leather thread or maybe i can ask some question at here?

[dismalfuture]

tanned my tuftsmania dorito case a bit.

There's a TOJ one of these but I don't know where it went to. In the vault I guess.

is bees wax an appropriate method for moisturizing leather without hurting it? if oil is not at your immediate disposal

[Dick Danger]

I would say not really. But I have been wrong before.

[corter]

you can use bee's wax for sealing edges, but it's better to use something with oils in it. Bee's wax won't really moisturize deep I don't think, and I'm not sure how you'd melt it onto the leather and keep it warm enough to sink in.

[watchman]

its in burts bees lip balm ha in a tin. ive been rubbing my hands on my belt after i use it.

It's good for sealing reptile leather

I usually wax cowhide leather only after oiling though - don't think you'd want to wax it before some oils get into the leather.

[MikeS]

repped that Beatle! Cant wait till my new FH looks that good (hopefully) one day!

Looks great Pete. Those guys do good work... wish those edges weren't so frayed though.

Good luck with your cards this time!

^ Nice pick up. Here's my Makr Angle wallet. I've had it for about 1 1/2 years. It was listed as russet on the website but it was pretty much natural

This may be quite late, 1 week ago....Sorry MikeS, wasn't checking this thread until now.

The wallet is progressing nicely, slow and steady. Grains, petina and colour are all evolving all together

I would like to upgrade to possibly a Last Crop wallet eventually but yeeeah
