Thank you all for the replies. I emailed, but never heard back from maverick leather co. i'll just keep waiting. I really like the idea of practicing on something cheap. i'll plan on doing that. I watched the old and new stitch videos....very informative and very well done. thanks for the resource. The next step for me will be to practice and then do the real thing. i'll post pics of the finished bag whenever i get it done. Thanks guys. Matt -

Monica, Thank you very much for the reply. All the site responded with was "5/6 ox veg tan leather" so who knows. I think I'll take you up on that advice to ask maverick about the chrome 'look' to it. Do you have a resource that you use for hardware? (rivets or chicago screws?....preferably in copper) thanks again, and you do beautiful work ( I was admiring your site!) Matt -
I would like to attempt to make the following tote bag as a first project/gift. http://www.whippingpost.com/collections/totes/products/the-vintage-tote-bag I contacted the site and found out that they use a 5/6 oz veg tan leather, and copper rivets. Here is where the guidance comes in... In being new, i need to know the following: Where should i source the leather from? How do I finish to obtain these results/color? Where do i purchase the hardware/stitching material? Also, anything that you can think of that may help me in the process of creating this bag Thank you all, and what a terrific forum. Matt
