This is pretty cool. It looks super thin and pretty cheap too. If I was making a bunch of wallets to sell I put this in every one of them as an additional selling point. It's so cheap you wouldn't have to pass much of an additional cost on to your customers. If I make another wallet for myself or a family member I plan on putting this in it. Like why not. I don't know how this has been out but it's the first time I've seen it. RMLS - 0.1mm RFID Blocking Fabric Mesh

Hello I have a silver bladed antique foldable knife and fork for which I would like a two compartment leather case made. I would prefer a case with a pull off lid, similar to one made for holding cigars. Is there anyone in the UK you may know off that would help please? Thank you

A friend of mine wants me to make southwestern style stamped belts for his son and his wife. They live in AZ and it will be a surprise for them both. What would be a standard width for a lady's belt? 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" Men's is usually 1 1/2"

I made a first strap from chrome tanned leather (lamb nappa on the inside) which turned out ugly but comfortable. My second one is from veg tan (same leather on the inside) and looks better, I think, but it feels stiff and uncomfortable. The thing is, I bought an Orient Blue Moon (very reasonably priced as automatic watch go) with leather strap and it also feels stiff and uncomfortable. So how is a good watch strap supposed to feel? Is it worth greasing/oiling the red leather (from the underside for a new strap, the red is a sort of coating) or should that have been done during tanning (i. e. do I need to find a different leather) ?

No idea why the zipper would turn South me, but after getting one side of the internal dividers completely sewn together, in trying the zipper before moving to stitch the second side internal dividers, it hangs badly over one section requiring some yanks to get it past. Without the dividers in the zipper glided along quite smoothly, zero hang or resistance any where.. So Im fairly sure its the design and not my zipper... I had zero instructions on how to assemble this pattern, so I went with what the lady at the Tandy store suggested for the pocket dividers leather's width (1mm) plus watching sev. different YT videos. Guessing 1 or 2 causes: That divider lea…

This went past my abilities, It's for a G/niece that's 14 years old. You all that do these sure urn your money, The purse has dome supports on bottom and a lined stiffener for the inside bottom. I know that there is a lot of mistakes. Thats my trade mark.

When it gets down past 60 degrees I freeze. i may not know how to surf and always fell off skateboards at least i like water and swimming. That is if I don't sink like a rock. These belt buckles are a good way to let your imagination run wild.
