Yea, those who getting the cordovan really gained so much. Each product easily costs more than the bags themselves already. Very nice concept as well.

There are many youtube video actually teaches how to make a watch straps. But my suggestion is that, before learning how to make a watch strap, u can actually practice on something easier like a simple credit card wallet.

From my experience, making a watch straps is alot more harder than making a credit card wallet due to more sophisticated process. To be more accurate, u need more precise measuring and precise cutting for making a watch strap. That is why a watch strap actually cost more than a handmade leather wallet. This is just my 2 cent, i could be wrong.

Here are some credit card wallet that i actually done this few weeks.

Well, you can refer to a few posts prior. I believe Tuckshop, or rather, the Atelier Lodge is having leather-crafting classes. Got to agree you have to start by some real life guidance. Its very much akin to school or courses. To me, watching videos are a supplement (reinforces taught techniques).

And later on, its just practice, practice, practice.

I would recommend either mink oil or obenauf heavy duty LP

But you need to know, for some leather, it is treated with a layer of clear coat. This is especially for those commercial leather. You can notice it by looking at the leather, it should looks like glossy surface. Applying mink oil or obenauf on these kind of surface is useless as it cannot be absorb into the leather.
