As a follow on question, I'm still looking at options on different design details. I came across this set of suspenders and I'm a bit perplexed by how this edging was accomplished. (the green portion) It looks like it was sewn face to face and then rolled over the back, but then it had to somehow be secured to the back, as well as the white backing piece. Does anyone know what this is called and/or how it's accomplished?

Thank you! Yes, I'll definitely burnish the edges and sew the liner on. (gonna be a LOT of hand sewing, but thankfully it's 5 separate pieces, so I can break up the work) I'm even looking at some decorative stitches as well. There's a lot of creativity I can work into it so I'm still trying to iron out the details on the final design. I've got a feeling this project is going to come together very slowly, but I'm enjoying the journey.

Hello all, First post, and I'm looking for a little help. I'm in the process of making a pair of leather suspenders for Lederhosen. I'm in the process of tooling, painting, and antiquing the breast shield, but I'm a bit unclear on how to line it and the straps. Between the fact that it'll be laying against a cotton or linen shirt (much more delicate than the waistband on a pair of pants) and wanting to avoid them being too thick/stiff, I'm leaning towards something along the lines of lambskin. Has anyone done something along these lines? Is there another idea that I should be considering?
