The Leather Thread

[deadbeat]

do take note that all donations made to red cross will not reach Japan Japan has already declared they DO NOT need any help. so that money you guys donated will actually stay with Red Cross instead. just fyi

are you sure? whats your source? i have not seen any message of this nature and even the red cross japan/US/singapore site did not mention about this

The bracelet would be categorised into S,M,L. Following Corter's sizing. Small would be up to 6.5". Medium would be up to 7.5".Large would be up to 8.75". The sizing would be from the hole to the button stud! let me know if you have any problems with the sizing!

collected my custom-made passport holder from OGL today

workmanship was good, scasi took just 3 days to finish it for me although some blemishes can be seen on the leather surface but i feel it will add character once aged...

Thanks scasi!!

What ive been up to for the past couple of weeks

Trying my hands on homemade traditional dyes

Simple belt clip/key holder

Been trying to come up with something a little more original...
Prototype design, copper riveted bracelet. Inspired by bike chains.

What do you guys think? (esp of the bracelet design)

I like the bracelets! Can imagine the raw look as it ages.

If can customise, it be interesting if can be replaced with a gem like Cat eye or onyx

nothing much inside though, just a few slots for cards and sim cards, wan to keep it simply and slim enough for the pocket

will show more but most likely this weekend...just mink it to soften the leather, abit stiff when new

like the bracelet as well, might look metallic(rust coloured) when aged..

at that point of time is mink oil!

 

[Kuroba]

Thanks!

You mean replacing the rivets with gems? Hmm might end up looking a bit more feminine but thats an idea. Might try other kinds of rivets/spots next time. The reason why I chose copper rivets is to make things a bit more interesting since copper rivets have the potential to develop a nice greenish patina with age. Plus its interesting to play with exposing the peened side instead of the more conventionally exposed flat side.

The coin pouch is actually bigger than the previous one haha. I guess the pic makes it look smaller than last one.

Yup im not formally taking custom orders at the moment. This is partly due to lack of time and limited materials. Its also because I would prefer to design my own stuff at my own pace for now and get more experience first

Someone has been asking about the 405 vs RW moctoes in terms of how slim they fit. Here are some quick pictures incase anyone else would be interested.
