Show us your leather

[Tiro]

Thanks guys!

I see Manifold products whenever I'm in Tokyo. Just gorgeous. My FH wallet reign is made by Manifold - about all I was willing to spend at that time - which I now regret... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be disappointed!

could u post some detail pics of the reign riff?

I like the OWA-12 CO TAN, downside is, there is no 'hook' to attach a reign, the other wallets of the same size/configuration are a bit busy for my liking, except the elephant ones, but I can't justify elephant skin to myself...

Hey Tiro - it's late & light is crappy here, so I zoomed in on my pic from a couple of pages back....

I can take some better shots in daylight, but in the meantime, here are stock shots from Rakuten:

Wallet looks really nice riff

I recently made a blog dedicated to things that look better when worn in.

A lot of this leather is perfect for it, I'd really like some submissions from you guys.

@sansome1877

what is it in the first picture, a boot ?

incredible !

Not sure if that's a boot or a shoe. I came across I think 6 low top boots from 1860's or early 70's, I'll take some pictures and post them.

That manifold that hollow posted is the nicest piece of leather I have ever seen. Cordovan and Croc makes me cream my shorts. Then I did the price conversion...

That looks like ostrich knee to me, not croc skin.

[Tiro]

actually, you are right, that is the ostrich leg one, this is the croc:

[mikecch]

Nice!

Do you know where their croc skin comes from?

[MikeS]

Good eye Mike!

[mikecch]

^ Thanks mate!

There are lots of ostrich farms here in Australia (in fact, Hermes and Gucci use ostrich hide from a farm near me!), we also produce the world's best crocodile skin (Aussie salt water). So yeah, I get to see these exotic skins a lot

Too bad most of the hides are bought by big international brands, and not much work is done with them locally...

Those Manifolds are really nice!

[Tiro]

Nice!

Do you know where their croc skin comes from?

I have no clue actually, I'm considering going for the croc/cordovan combo though, as it has a ring to attach a reign and the cordovan wallets don't...

I'm guessing I'll need a proxy...

I love my Kawatako and didn't think I would buy another wallet for a very long time but one of those elephant skin wallets might need to come my way. Does anyone have any evolution pictures of elephant skin?

[mikecch]

Yep - after a bit of use:

Sure thing. If you've never seen it before, you should check out http://convoy.tumblr.com/

There are a lot of images there that I think you'll really like, and it updates pretty frequently.

[ashkaun]

^I like it.

what kind of wallet is that?

[pepper davies]

It's a Kawatako full length with a reign from FH. Demonito sells Kawatako's on here for a good price. Love mine.

I'm looking for some good tips to start out leather crafting. I'd like to start off a new hobby and try and hand craft something small at first (bracelets and maybe wallets)

Does anyone have any good resources, websites or tips on this? I'm trying to find a place to buy undyed and untanned natural leather and also a good place to find some start tools.

I've been searching the forum and I figured maybe this is the best place to ask.

Thanks
