  1. Do you know what leathers the grey and light saddle are? http://horween.com/leathers/full-tannage-list/ Any chance of shipping to the UK?
  2. Looking for 1.25" x at least 46" of burgundy Chromexcel shipped to the UK if anyone could help Anything from 8 to 12oz
  3. I've had these brass screws on an untreated, natural, oak tanned belt for about 3 months and when I unscrewed them today for the first time, noticed this green waxy substance on the back Any ideas on this?
  4. I've only managed to quickly speak to them today, admittedly the lady did say Andrew was best equipped to answer my questions, but the 'Oak Bark Full Grain Bridle Butt's' only come in 2 colours? I am due a call back from Andrew, unfortunately I didn't get one today, but I was hoping to be able to order from the majority, if not all, of colours listed on their site. Assuming the Oak Bark Full Grain Bridle Butt's are what I want?

  6. I will be making some belts soon and just wanted to check which leather I should be buying from J & FJ Their price list, attached, is quite long They also told me: our bridle butts are 60" long by 24" wide, and our backs are about 80" by 24". Any opinions will be appreciated
  7. Cheers I tried Le Prevo (Britannia's new owner) a while back and just got 'No' in reply I've dropped Abbey an email regarding their prices
  8. Hello guys Does anyone know of any British made hardware suppliers? Buckles and Chicago screws are mainly what I'm looking for
  9. I've done the glueing and the passport fits in okay. It wants to pull the the case open. I've not creased or grooved the center fold yet, is that likely to work? Am I better just putting a book over it for a few days?
  10. You could try using two pieces of floorboards, or Something similarly flat and long. Push each one under your wheels and try and rub any mud off. If you start moving, don't stop!
  11. Thanks, make sense I've got all my cutting done, with some leather left over for practising. I'm not sure which bit to do next. I'm never going to be able to cut the flaps to match exactly when folded over, so I'm thinking I should glue, sand and then do the stitch crease or grove. Make sense?
  12. Quick question, do I want to be cutting on the grain (outer) or the inner side of the leather?
