SBL front pocket bag

SBL classic bag

Hi guys. I'm thinking of getting a bag and have narrowed down my selection to these 3. I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get. And I'm unable to get both due to budget constraint.

Would appreciate it if you guys could share your thoughts on which is the nicest looking out of all and also which would you get personally.

Many thanks!

I think you need to tell us what you using it for. and... 3?

Any opinion on ashland leather's horween shell cordovan bifolds?

Or should I go mainstream and get one of those woven bottega ones.

My wife has a pair of leather pants that has torn. Sent it to a tailor and she mentioned t has to be sent to someone who can sew leather. Can someone recommend me someone who can do this? Preferably in the east?

I prefer the 1st one for it's sleek and elegant look. If you prefer the more sporty and rugged look, then you should go for the 2nd. IMHO.

Hey I would go for a more simple minimalist design. But that's my preference. Personally I don't like the buckles.

NEW LEATHER PROJECT GUYS.
And so I got asked to design a phone wallet, I dunno if it's called that. But yea a person actually heard I was starting up in leather working and requested for it. Had alot of fun making it
Compartments:
-molded to fit phone compartment(note 4)
-wallet portion(fits 5cards and 50dollar note on the side)
Previously someone commented on my stitches, I changed the thread and stitched as per normal. So tread do matter.
Please give some comments and suggestions! Cheers

Your stitching still quite bad lei

You never punch the holes proper? Can see the 'line' is pretty slanted.

These are the very tools used by the ranks of Hermes and numerous other highly respected craftsmens and brands. Do check out on Instagram profile @hei.crafted if you are interested. I welcome all queries about leather crafting and any desires to order bespoke leather goods. Thanks !

I think you got to ensure the direction you pull your stitches and strength utilized is consistent. That would result in a much cleaner stitching line.
