mr.olive wallets are hand distressed cowhide leather.

I was wondering how to do, rather than where to buy. Or is it just a matter of getting some foetus leatherz?

i wouldnt know, sorry. there must be someone in here who knows though.

[hollowsleather]

I suspect that it involves wetting the leather and mangling it with your hands, but I haven't tried anything like it, as most of the leather I have is too heavy for that anyway.

Here's a few recent projects of mine:

corter when are your regular snap wallets gonna be back 'in stock' or do you only make them on request?

Thanks for all the inspiration guys. Gonna start up soon.

Corter your stuff is absolutely great. Do you think you will be doing any tooling/patterns soon?

I need to make myself a black belt for work, and I am curious if anyone in here has found rectangular center bar buckles that are taller than they are wide (a la the SC belt below in the Self Edge product pic)?

[ledger]

this by no means is a too good but went to a tannery and the guy told us we could take as many scraps as we wanted(included some pretty big bits like 1m long by about 30cm) ,just made this in like an hour,first ever leather creation.No real proper equipment at all.

that's a garrison style buckle, hence the belt's name

though I think SC makes their own buckles, if you google "garrison buckle" you'll find plenty of places that offer similar things

I've got an old belt from my grandfather but it's coming apart... what glue should I use to put it back together?

Contact cement. Put it on both sides and let it dry about 5 minutes then stick it back together.

[corter]

made myself a new saddle bag:

and a wallet i hand dyed:

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

corter ^^^ love your shit, like everybody else here too

super great job with everything

just a question: how do you sew the '3d' part of your saddle bag? is it one continuous leather piece folded around and sewn into a 3d shape from the inside?

If i could have a photo of the interior construction, I would love you more.

[hollowsleather]

Can't rep, Corter. Excellent as always.

Here's one I just finished. I like when people order sets, just so I can see it all sit next to each other.

i believe it's called a gusset? i'm not sure, i just kinda fooled around until i found a construction that worked. it's a continuous piece, yes, then the sides are individual pieces.

it's sewn just like you would sew 2 flat pieces together. you just punch each piece seperate and be careful to mark your stitches evenly so they line up when you're joining them.

just received from unlucky

[corter]

here's a few new ones. The first two are made out of dye tests, the really colorful one was my test piece for almost a year! the concos are both hand made peso conchos.

and an id slot I got to do:

Great work as always corter.

I got a knife case kit for $5 from Tandy and it's a tad too tight to fit my leatherman in. Aside from restitching it, which i'll probably do anyway, is there another way to stretch the leather a little bit? I was thinking maybe using clamps on each each side and leaving it like that for a while. Or should I soak in water first, worried that it will shrink the leather.

[corter]

soak it in water and shove the leatherman in. it'll work, leather stretches and molds when it's wet.

[35percent]

Thanks.
