The Leather Thread

[SpellSinger]

[Bumblebee Man]

hokay noted, scasi advised for me to do so, since he's the maker of the wallet, i would assume he knows best, so i just followsuit since i'm a noob to leather aging xD.

here's the ensemble:

looking good man!
the wallet with that rain looks badass.. hahaha.
the shortest reins they have are at ~14"?

 

[SpellSinger]

nah the one i have is a little longer at 17-18" than the listed 14". even though i was told it was gonna be 14". Even at 17" it doesnt look that bad even tho im sorta short, so if ur any taller, im guessing 17-18" would do you fine.

 

[skye..]

how much mink oil to put ah?
or does it come with application sponge de?
bata have right and how much?

gonna oil and leave overnight

oh.. nah i want a shorter one.
not sure if a rein would do fine without hooking on to wallet, instead to the belt loops themselves.

or should i just get a hook.

or should i just forget about it altogether

 

[SpellSinger]

i just pick a fingertip full of oil glob, then apply it on the leather like polishing boots...

my mink oil i got from bata @ $8.95.

hey another personal preference, maybe you should turn your wallet the other way when you put in back pocket

i did that on purpose because the rein was a little too long for my tastes, so i placed the hook away from me to minimise the droop .

get a side hook with leather strips

i got one from kidsnextdooor that i use as a keychain, hangs really nicely off my berms/jeans when i place it on my belt loops. can go their blogspot and haf a look

okays thanks man

yea can do both, but ill probably rock it like that , the ring + leather patch is preventing it from going all the way in too.

i doubt ill be ordering from them again. lol
the socks i wanted to place order for 3mths back till date no reply,
even after i emailed em again

the reins at 310 the price range quite wide.. some some at 30+, next to it got one 60+

 

[SpellSinger]

you are right about kidsnextdooor, they are a bunch of f*gs, i had alot of problems dealing with them too. they lost my shirt in the post when i insisted to pickup, then asked them for refund they refused to give. Told me to buy more with them and get a further discount which I did, so I got the mini leather strips + socks for a discounted price. That's not the end of it, the owner is a rude b4st4rd who has literally no manners on the phone. I only recommended them because the hook is actually pretty decent.

wahlau should have got the mid length from them mah
thats how my mid length is sitting

 

[SpellSinger]

i know, but have to be practical ma, i'm not gonna fit a midlength wallet in office pants lol...a bit funny. plus i don't really like carrying midlengths, sorta gender ambiguous when it comes to design, look a bit feminine imo.
