Haha, I just clicked the link without looking at this title and was like "did he just make a beef jerky wallet??", this is awesome, lol.

Awesome!

Google lead me to this, this right here is hilarious... LOL

Morning! So I've been looking around and wondering what each of you find as a more upscale product for wallets and bags, Kidskin or Calfskin? I'm sure each has better and worse applications, but lets say on an even plane which do you prefer and why?

Man, I LOVE this right here. The color combo is just fantastic. If I may ask, what size pricking irons did you use for this? Or did you machine sew it?

So, 80 grit on a pneumatic DA and go to town? hahahaha

Thank you all AGAIN for your knowledgeable input!

Good morning everyone! I was wondering, how to finish a belt inside to make it smooth if using a single piece of leather (the rough side), instead of gluing and stitching another piece for the inside part? Thank you all, upfront, for your constant help!

Thank you!

I've seen those, making sure it's the good stuff before I pull the trigger on ordering them, thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interesting, I'll have to put some through the paces I suppose, I have so good stuff from my painting days not that long ago, I'll try it. Thanks!

Hey people! What do you all use for leather PAINT, not stain. I was thinking of adding some designs to my wallet designs and wondering if there is a good, wear resilient leather paint, something probably comparable to plastisol screen printing inks?

Looks like they have what I might want as far as weight and color, thanks! Sent them an email to see if I could buy some samples.

No I haven't, thanks for the name, I'll get on it.

I will also have a look at this, thank you much.

I haven't seen the horween in bright colors like blue and oranges and such though... The bright colors I'm looking at are only available in goat in that's site. Thank you will do.

Thank you!

I'm subscribed to you on YouTube even before I saw this post, lol. Can I ask, what thickness leather did you use for that small card holder?

Really nice!

That's really good for 5 months in the craft! I hope so, I'm a perfectionist in everything I do, so this first ones mistakes will never be repeated again. #2 should be near perfect, and #3 should be perfect.

That looks absolutely clean, love it!

Please don't mind the savage-like stitching job, this was the first ever thing I made of leather and had no idea about thread sizing and diagonal saddle stitching, I used too fat of a thread so when I crossed through the hole it went through itself and became all crooked. I also screwed up and should have had the middle be a pocket. You live, you learn, right? Lol.

Thank you Tugadude, I appreciate it. Are they high quality?

Ok, so all in all, what I'm looking to accomplish is the same type of material as the high end outfits use, but sourced in the USA. European style, American made I suppose is what I'm shooting for. Lightly pebbled/textured, nice bright colors (along with the standard black and brown). I have respect for the tan* spectrum of tanning, I understand it has it's place in the high end market as well, but it's very traditional and just not what I'm wanting to work with. I will be incorporating titanium and real carbon fiber "leather" (that's what the call it) into my designs. I'm going for super modern and super clean looks. I do appreciate the help from all of you thus far! Maybe someone can help bring this in for me for exactly what I'm looking for. Right now as I said, I'm looking at using Acadia Leather https://www.acadialeather.com/ (anyone have any issues with them?) and maybe Waterhouse Leather (http://www.waterhouseleather.com/pebble_grain_cowhide.htm).

Seems really smooth, a pebbled type leather would be better.

I noticed they use edge coat, I don't have a problem with that, it would save me the burnishing pain (I'm absolutely a failure at it lol).
