eh i bought this leather shoes and that day i wore it.it was raining so what should i do now?? buy mink oil and apply on it? but den i heard leather oil is good for leather but not on threaded seams? Is it because they scared the oil seeps into the internal part of the shoes or?

 

[reddevil76]

wa. 30mm is like 7.5 oz leather leh.
wallets are normally like 5oz.

 

[mikeeeey]

^ i think 30mm is the width of the leather strip

30mm of thickness is crazy. Can use as kevlar vest alrdy. Lol

 

[Jonathan.Ha]

paisei say wrongly is 3mm.

 

[mikeeeey]

haha.. 3mm still ok

by the way, a qn for the leather experts.

does quality varies for leather from country origins like USA, China, Malaysia, Thailand etc?

 

[JesusLovesUs]

Does anyone know where I leather for crafts work?

 

[Geeezz]

hi, wonderin if real leather cn be scratched n will the smell fade off? TIA

 

[Kuroba]

For wallets usually I use 4-5oz for exterior, 2-3oz for interiors. Anything thicker I find that the wallet will bulk up more than desired. Sorry lazy to convert, 1 oz is 1/64 inch.

Yes, quality will vary from tannery to tannery, much less the country of origin. I think for good quality leather US and UK are a safer bet.

By the way mikeeeey, what kind of sewing machine did you use?
