Hello there, I use Herman Oak leather to make belts, collars, Etc. I'm wondering if their is any other leather I could use to craft these products. I very much do enjoy dying, waxing and conditioning the leather myself. Herman Oak seems to be the best I can find todo this. Any idea? Thanks Austyn

Hey Lois, Yes I've already made that change in the belt length. thank you for the input! Cheers

Thank you! The belts have screw rivets so you have the option the change out the buckle. Here is a link to my work! http://wolvesleather.com/ work in progress

Hello, I use 10-11oz Heavy Hermann Oak leather to make belts, suspenders, dog leashes, dog collars, ETC. I rub palm leaf wax into the leather. Then, beewax mixed with neatsfoots oil. To protect against moisture it is then finished with acrylic leather sheen. The edges are then, burnished and waxed by hand. Feed back would be nice and if anyone recommend changing this method at all, please say so! Thank you, Wolves leather Austyn.

Hello friends, I'm looking into upgrading my leather supplier and I'm not sure where to start. right now I get my 10-11oz HermannOak from Springfield Co springfieldleather.com/25849/Bend%2CBelt%2CHermannOak%2CSngl%2C9-10/ and now I ask where can I find high quality hides for around the same price. I use this leather to make belts, collars, leashes, suspenders, accessories, ECT. thank you, Austyn

Great! Thank you for the feedback,. im thinking about using a Naturl Veg Sheepskin for the apron, this will be between 1.5oz - 2.5oz. I'm also going to be using this for my leather work studio as well. Below is a rough sketch of my design, any feedback would be awesome. Thank you, Austyn

Hey, I've been interested in making leather mouse pads. I've made a few and the only problem is they slide around a bit... But can I apply/do on the bottom of the leather so it holds in place. Thanks What can I apply/do***

I'm in the market for a leather sewing machine. I make belts, suspenders, dog collars, etc. I use 10-11oz leather. I'm looking for a used sewing machine but I'm not sure what type or what works best with 10-11oz leather. Thoughts? Thanks.

The apron will be for a barista.

I've been wanting to make leather aprons for sometime now but I'm not sure where/what type of leather to get! any help would be awesome! Thanks! WL Austyn

Thanks for your input! Ill give it a shot and get back to you!

Correct.

Belt - 1 1/2 wide, beeswax, Springfield's Heavy HermannOak Leather 10-11oz

Ive been having a problem with my belts recently.. I hand wax my belts and after a week of wear the leather starts to squeak... anyway to get this to stop? thanks,

Ive been having trouble with sealing my dyes for some reason.. This is what I do Dye the leather with Fiebing's dye then I let it dry for 24 hours... Rub all the extra dye then seal with 50/50 res/water.. Let that dry for 24 then I do that again and I still get dye on my clothes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Austyn.

Hey friends! Quick questions! How long should I wait before adding a second laying of dye to my piece? Or does it depend on the color/dye I use? Thanks! -Austyn

Im using Fiebing's black oil dye. I buff before I apply 50/50 water and Resolene with a spray bottle.

I can't get ahold of either of those suppliers...been trying for a few days now. Are there any other suppliers that sell Natural Double Shoulder 10-11 Oz? Thanks!

I need to find another supplier for Double shoulders Natural. 10/11oz. I certainly buy that from Weaver. Unfortunately they are out of stock and I desperately need to find another hide around the same price! Where should I look? Thanks!

I've been wanting to make Natural colored leather belts. Should I use some type of conditioner on the underside on the leather? If what do I need and how should I apply it? Best,

My dye's have been coming off onto my clothes and I'm not sure why.. I wait for the dye to dry then I apply Acrylic Resolene, Sometimes even 2-3 layers!! What I'm I doing wrong? Thanks! Austyn

Hey friends! Where can I find strong staples/StapleGun for belt keepers? Thanks!
