I'm looking at this leather to make collars/cuffs out of (I'm new, bare with me) and wondering if this leather needs treatment other than conditioner on the front? Will the back be bare? Do I need a special dye for the back side + finish? Any ideas how stiff it is? I read its very supple yet holds shape okay? http://springfieldleather.com/37173/Piece%2CDublin%2CBlack%2C1%27x2%27/

Hi just signed up here and very interested in trying my hand at leathercraft and this post is exactly what I would like to attempt to create! I apologize for going off topic, but your collar and cuff set is really inspiring and I am compiling a list of tools and doing research on the process so I can make a collar and cuff set myself! I admire your work and it would be a huge favor if you or anyone else could help me compile the tools I need for the job? Here is my list so far, still doing research on the sewing and stitch stuff. Can you guys help me with some suggestions? (def need tools for stitching, but haven't gone that far in the research yet) Strap cutter Mallet Tack hammer Leather scissors Skiver Knife Hole punch Scratch awl Rivet setter Keep up the good work and thanks in advance!
