I can help you answer anything you didnt understand or question. as i did the tutorial. depending on how thick the coat is will depend on machine you use. the biker coat im doing here is done on a heavy duty machine--upholstry machine. my machine is an ANKER which is similar to the singer 31-15. mine is not a walking foot but it work for me. a walking foot would be better.

Nice Job Russ. im sure he will like them now ya have extra yokes for the next pair lol.

well heres the coat before: coat after: if you look on pic #2 close you can see red stitching down sleeve thats where it was put together. not the greatest oics but someday ill have a better camera. ty for looking.

Well Ive been MIA for a while summer has been busy repairs have been keeping me working. been lots of things happening not so good also. but things are slowing down so i can get caught up on stuff. n can get caught up on here again. I have a customer who seems to think im a miracle worker i leather n he will tell ya so lol so i guess ive got a loyal customer in him n he spreads the word to. hes a biker he was a senater of our state for many years n did all his traveling on his bike. he has the million mile bike thats in the sturgis harley museum. well this spring he was in a nasty bike accident which he lost his leg. wqell he now has a prothesis n just got his trike so this guy who talked after his accident no mkore bike but we all knew this wasnt true. he now has his trike n is even got more spirit than before. hes a biker advocate n campaigns for biker rights and other stuff. the man lets no grass grow under his feet. anyways he brings me his coats that were cut off of him. he was wearing a duster n a harley leather coat. both were cut off of him. the coat isnt gonna be to bad to put together but the duster ive patched over n over again he wont retire it lol. so im hope after this fix it will be retired(crossing my fingers) anyways he thinks i can do it. so here it is: ya think i can lol. heres before n when im done i will show after. he wants to have me stitch it up in red so to see where it was cut off cause he is a speaker for bike safety n road first aid. this weekend he want these to be displayed at the harley museum in milwaukee for the harley 108th so my work will be on display. I hope i can do it for him. heres the before: the first 3 is the coat n last is the duster. hard to take pics of these lol

very nice I like it

I get mine from the hide house in california. i like the colors and a good quality. not sure what price your looking for but ive been buying there for years. they have a huge variety f leathers. if you fina other places id like to know also. never have enough suppliers.

the elastic you are looking for isnt out there lol not that long anyways I have been looking to. if its for chaps you are looking for use the heavy spandex or the stretchy neoprene. that is what i have come up with. the heavy spandex comes from the spandex house. i believe they have the neoprene also but not sure. widest elastic ive found is like 6 in. beast i could come up with other then ver lapping the 6 in for the wider length.
