Show us your leather

Leather keeper or two? I used snaps on this belt and I have an extra leather keeper in case I want to swap out down the road.

And dunno if you're talking about the hardware Ed? It's just Tandy leather hardware.

A little history to this belt. I ran my first solo 100 mile race in 2007 in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was an almost purely trail race with a fair amount of elevation gain and loss, so all finishers who completed the race in under 24 hours (something like 40% dropped out and most finishers were over 24 hours) got a commemorative belt buckle ornamented with black hills gold. I wanted a belt to go with it that was also handmade in the black hills, so after I finished the race in under 24 hours and got my buckle, I stopped at a little leather shop in the black hills and picked up this belt. It's not like Tanner quality leather or anything, but it's got some really unique history to me and I wore it like crazy for a few years with a handful of different 100 mile buckles until I finally retired it. It used to just be solid black on the outside and tan on the inside and here it is after somewhere between 500 and 1000 wears:

Take it or leave it, but I think the wear is pretty cool after that much use and beyond that, I'm really proud of what this symbolizes for me.

I like that buckle a lot. Never sell it.

If you ever decide to re-tool it that belt could be a little heirloom.

Edit: My bad read that as 100 meters...bravo!

Dude, the Lean Horse is serious business; that ain't just some piece of tin he picked up at a flea market. He got that for running 100 miles in less than 24hrs.

Other ultramarathoners would hunt him down and break his kneecaps if he sold it.

[cander49]

Hahaha. Yeah, that's not going anywhere.

Thanks lax!

Decided to throw some neatsfoot oil on the leather patch....

... but I got carried away and ending up putting it on my whole leather collection.

Apologies for shitty lighting.

1st time doing this but i bought materials and made a belt. I cut the belt, made the end pointed, punched the holes, snapped in the buckled. Then decided to make a lanyard w/ the left overs.

Here's a very interesting leather Unlucky was nice enough to share with me

Brain tanned horsehide, deadstock (tannery closed down long ago).

Made into a hip pouch, lined with pig-skin...US postal style.

Leather feels like buckskin, with more density to it.

Incredibly soft, but tough as hell.

[ppsos]

the wallet looks sick and the price is so reasonable !!

Here is some sharkskin leather with kangaroo leather laces. Billfold is handmade by a local guy named Greg Everett.

I wonder what the difference is between the American and Indonesian hides on those Voyej wallets. Btw thanks for sharing Gilangaditya.

[lucaas]

indonesian has more supple leather while american is stiffer.

for its color, american has more brighter & warmer color than indonesian.

we here are still trying to bring a good quality leather goods and reasonable price for overseas customer

really appreciate for all of your support!

Hey Everyone,

Just got in my new Tanner Workman wallet and decided to take some shots with a kangaroo lace wallet chain I made, look familiar to anyone?

[madstaxbro]

Oh that's cool I remember making those braids from the book catalogs in elementary school. Awesome.

[lance]

Yeah, nice work; compliments the wallet really well.

[Zig_Zagidy]

Thank you much appreciated!

my mom gave me this wallet for Christmas in 1999. she said that it belonged to my uncle, who had died in 1976. she didn't know how long he had used it or where it came from. I used it everyday from then until May of last year. it is now retired.

Very nice wallet!

[tahonng]

This…

started out like this.

It got a lot more burnished. You can kind of tell where the indigo rubbed off on it, too, in certain lights.

[szszcool]

how long did it take when get ur corter items? shipping wise

[corporalclegg]

This was the first belt I ever made, about 3 years old now, worn for I would guess half of that time. Its pretty messed up at this point because I was hiking a lot when I first made it and it has scraped up against its fair share of rocks.
