Good tip! Haha

Respect!!! Amazing work!!!

Exactly. I’m trying to convince him to do a crazy horse and it’s that. Hard customers.

Awesome! I’m a big fan of finishing and little detail. For me this is perfect! Congrats

Nice idea and really good work!

For sure. But he didn’t said nothing about it. Just ask about the leather

Hey buddy! This is a little bit relative. This kind of leather that you mean probably is a vegetable tanned leather with different finishings/dyes. I live in Germany. My last purchases I always did by the buyleatheronline.com. For what exactly you need for?

BTW. I know this saddle bags are like that because of the natural aging of leather. Usually I always do the opposite: make it looks like new. Hahaha

Hey guys, I was in doubt where to post(suppliers or how to do) it so then let’s do it here. A customer ask me to do some seats (bomber seats) to his hot rod. But. He ask me for a leather like on the photo. First, when he talk to me I thought he was talking about a crazy horse leather. But then when he send this photo, it’s a cracked or vintage look leather, don’t know how to call it. Hahaha so, somebody knows how I could do it? Something that I can use or if I can buy it ready a kind of leather like that. Thanks

Thanks Gary! yes, I think it’s a veg tan because of the size. I’m not sure but I never saw a huge piece of cordovan. This part of the edges is that o don’t know. I always use wax on the edges. But he use something really smooth as you can see on this another video (3:20). And don’t looks like tragacanth But anyway. He does an awesome work. My favorite is a guy called daisuke uchimura.

Hey everybody! I’m q big fan of the Japanese’s leathercraft work. Today I saw a video of a guy and as in doubt about some finishing that they use and some stuff. If somebody can help me, this is the video: my questions are: 1 - first of all. What kind of leather is that? I don’t know if he apply the color/finishings before and then cut or is this a cordovan? 2- at 2:00 on the video. What kind of machine is that and why it makes? 3- at 21:15 on the video. What kind of finishing he use to make the borders SO shine? thank you guys!

I totally recommend it!

Hello guys! I'm trying to find this kind of buckle but I just found ONE place to buy, and it comes from Japan. Anyone knows some place preferencial in Europe where I can buy this and other good quality buckles? Thanks

I already bought a spool of Ritza Tiger Thread. But have a lot of options that you can choose. Some guys here in the forum tried some threads coming from China and they said is not a high high quality but for the price is nice. Edit: here you can find some talks and references

BTW I'm working on that. A different style of chimayo/native American. Soon I send photos

Exactly! :D

Thank you Matt. That's exactly what I was thinking. No "smooth" side. Thank you for help!

Hey Matt, thank you. That's the link that I saw and talking about: https://buyleatheronline.com/en/home/194-vegetable-natural-split.html

Hello everybody! I want to know what kind of leather is that. Usually I produce some wallets, belts and small leather goods. These kind of leather is appropriate for that? Need a special treatment with finishing to looks good? Thanks

So, I found out. This draw pattern is called "chimayo".

Hello everybody, Someone knows about this type of handbag? If it have a "name" or something? I would like to do one of these for my girlfriend but I don't know exactly how to start. Thanks and regards
