  1. A behind the scenes photo of some of our Kindle Leather Cases. Made from Veg Tan Leather Hides. Distressed & Hand rubbed with dye to produce Vintage / Aged look.
  2. Hey John, Great observation, that is exactly the same thing that was running in our minds before we went ahead with this closure. The manila folders uses two snaps heads which are covered / padded from the bottom, so no metal part ever touches or makes contact with the product, also the reason why we use a leather lace to lock the feature so that there is no pressure while closing. If we would have gone with the conventional method of using a line 24 snap then yes, it would create some pressure and quite possible create some stress / scratches on the piece. The sleeves only use a snap head on the top while using Velcro on the bottom, hence avoiding pressure / stress on the item. I hope this information serves of some use. Please post your work when you get a chance so we can look at it. -J
  3. Cool Stuff. I saw it when it was raw and now after its been painted. Good job. Digg it
  4. Thanks Spinner, and believe it or not, we use Fiebing's dye the same one's available at Tandy's or any shoe repair store.
  5. Just finished up this Canadian Flag leather wallet for a customer of ours. Closing up shop now. Tired.
  6. This is very nice, great looking work.
  7. Thanks Spinner and no way .. 8th and Fig is right up the street from us, just a few blocks away. Yeah Menolly, like Spinner said check out ebay to get some dummy / display units for some of these accessories. We have a mixture of both, so I just buy the samples to save money and not worry about breaking / scratching and some I buy legit as I use them for personal use. Thanks Particle, do you have any work of yours which we may see?
  8. Hey Fredo, Trust me, I threw many .. and I mean many samples in the trash. My father is the true artist, I'm still learning day by day. Keep at it.
  9. Hey Menolly, Thanks for the compliment, really appreciate it. In terms of the added space we usually add around 1/4 to each side for the ipad to give it a bit of breathing room. In your case it all depends on the type of leather / material you are going to use and how thick it is. We actually did a few testers before we got it right for the styles / designs we wanted to come out it. But start of with 1/4 on each side that should work for you. -J
  10. Thanks abn, how are you by the way? I remember you from when I first started posting here about a year or two ago?
  11. Thanks Rcsaddles, and yes so true, only our imagination limits us. Always thinking of what do to next is the key Cheers
  12. Here are some of our latest leather credit card wallets. Slim design which features 1 x I.D. slot and 3 x credit card slots. Made from Oak Leaf leather which is treated / tan very similar to that of Veg Tan Leather. Exterior on most of these wallets has been distressed and hand rubbed with dye to give a vintage - aged look. We use thin suede for an interior. Have a great Friday Joe V. Jr.
  13. We have been hard at work expanding our product line. These are some of our newest Ipad Leather & Wool sleeves we have designed. Some are made from veg tan leather which has been hand rubbed & tooled, while others are made from Latigo. All cases are cushioned with a Felt Wool interior for a secure and comfortable fit. An Apple Ipad will sleep like a baby. Hope everyone is having a great day. -J p.s. TGIF
  14. Hey my name is Joe V. from Joe V. Leather. Have not been to the site in a while but it's good to be back. We currently operate Urban Wrist which is an online store dedicated to handmade leather accessories. Our newest ventures is leather wallets, cell phones cases, belts, etc. Check out our work. Thanks, -J
  15. How was it working with Stingray for you? From our experience it's the toughest exotic hide to work with but the finish is absolutely stunning specially when using the Star section of the hide. Check out our Stingray Star Leather Cuff we just made available on our site. -J
