Hello, I would like to know which material of leather hardware is resistant to color change, especially for golden metal straps and chains. I heard that brass is resistant to corrosion but it develops a patina (color change). ..would you please advice me on gold colored straps, chains and hardware that keep its color just like the top brands...

Hello, I am new to leather crafting. I just want to know which type and material of waxed thread you would recommend for stitching leather items that will be subject to the sunlight and a lot of contact with the skin, inner pockets and sweat. I usually use 1 or 1.2 ml thread. Someone recommended polyester thread, and especially Ritza Tiger, do polyester threads keep their color over long period of time particularly when subjected to a lot of contact with skin or scratches within pocket? I used before waxed cotton thread and within weeks the color faded away. Any advice is welcome. Thanks for your help.

I want to know which material and machine do factories use to seal and coat the leather edges with a thick rubbery coat? I don't think it is Giardini, or Fiebings or Stahl or United or any of these edge coats, because I compared those to the rubbery edge coat I have on many bags and they are not the same.......I also don't think in mass production of bags they will waste time applying 3 or 4 layers of these edge coats..... I think it is a synthetic material... It could be the one in the attached photo but I don't know what is it? BTW this material is damn good and sustainable. Can anyone help me please.

i am wondering about how do the big factories finish the leather edges? what exactly do they use? which machines and materials to give the rubbery edge? i dont think they use giardini or vernice or fiebings or any other similar edge coat...... bec. i checked the rubbery edge of favtory manufactured bags and i am sure it us not normal edge paint... also for mass production they need something fast and cheap to apply on thousands of bags per day... by the way whatever they use is very elastic and lasts long.... can anyone help?
