The Leather Thread

[BetterCallSaul]

Where do you guys purchase pieces of raw leather?

 

[kazuki666]

Not sure if anyone mentioned before. I was window shopping at Queensway Shopping Centre and bumped into this shop Frank's at the level2. Its quite empty with a few leather item display and a middle age man busy on his leather. It seems like he takes custom orders.

Chester Mox or..?

yup!

I've actually tried brushing & wiping with damp cloth BUT i think more can be done so am checking if there's any place selling Deer Bone. I've seen how deer bone is able to smooth out the nitty gritty scars online.

Attached pictures to garner better advise.

Can actually use the back of a spoon with some polishing cream. Your cordovan wallet should have enough oils left in it.

what sort of polishing cream?

You can try using Saphir as that's the gold standard but remember to use tiny amounts for shell.

Hmm I got some mink oil from TANGS and it sorts of plump up the indents.

Ultimately these scratches will darken and acquire a different colour.. pretty classy if you ask me

I've actually managed to find a site that sells deer bone but package have yet arrive.

Meanwhile, i've been brushing it with horsehair brush followed by a short buff with a cotton cloth, daily.

The condition seems to have improved but i noticed that it has started to show different color under different lighting.

One minute it appears kinda purplish, then under the sun it'll have those very light tanned color and when indoor with natural light, it'll have those chestnut brown kind of color
