    Hi Folks I have some Black CXL for sale asking $6 a foot plus shipping (ships from SC). 5-6oz First Quality. Full hides only. For some reason messaging not working for me here. Email at nstarleather@shtc.net

    I like it! Not many of us doing shoes! I'd be tempted to try just because I could use some pretty cool leathers.

    If you've got the tooled part covered and just want to protect the part that touches the seat, I'd just line the. back with a layer of a light-colored upholstery leather. In theory upholstery leather is not going to rub color at all since people got to sit on it all day. Leaving it natural veg is a little more worrisome because while it don't stain by itself, the "unfinished" nature of it will possibly cause issues with it absorbing dirt and then transferring. Just my 2 cents.

    Neither… dude had some acid wash hides and made variations on my designs with them.

    No lining bot u include a snap-in zipper bag.

    Had a client leave me some of this funky stuff and little direction besides to make some cool stuff....How'd I do. Hair-on is pretty think so all of the parts where you see hair are lined.

    I have a cylinder machine but I've been tempted to get a post machine because there are some designs that are much easier with a post machine.

    No worries, edge finishing have never been a big thing for me but that’s cause I’m “bang for your buck” with my products. If I did the beveling , burnishing etc, I’d have to charge a lot more.

    So I generally don’t do much edge finishing to keep the prices low…since these Red Wing folks have boots with mostly raw edges, it for with the look. Everything is in the Pfaff “45 family”, 545’s and 1245’s mostly. No just took the idea of a Dopp kit and played around with the size till I was happy. Did the overlap since one-piece would be nearly impossible.

    A lot of my customers are big fans of Red Wing boots so they ask for specific colors... Two recent ones were Gold Russet Sequoia and Briar Oil Slick. The design uses 3 main pieces for the body and is basically a "big Dopp kit" with #10 YKK Zippers:

    @Johanna I appreciate this decision and know it's for the best. I'll make an effort to post more now.

    Be careful about mentioning letting advertisers know, I was banned for months because the site’s owner suspected me of contacting the advertiser who pulled out around that time. I still don’t have access to messaging, like everyone else on this site. Freedom of speech apparently only applies to trolling.

    Yeah my habit is to click "all activity" and yeah 40%-50% is off topic...I don't spend nearly the time on here I once did. I've asked repeatedly to make the off topic forum (especially politics) opt-in but it's either impossible on the back end of the site or like Facebook, any engagement is considered a positive.

    I use a heavy duty vinyl used for windows in tents and such. I had a tough time sourcing in bulk and I buy 100lb rolls so my source isn't one most of you could use... But this looks like the type of stuff you'd want: Tent Vinyl

    Cool not terribly far, nice area of the state.

    Where you at in SC? I’m up on the border near Charlotte.
  19. nstarleather
    Yeah, it looks like an issue on the site or the folks running it not finding the correct controls. "Send a PM" has not worked for me.

    I’ve requested repeatedly to have the permission revoked so the first 10 posts when I click “all activity” aren’t this nonsense but, nope, still there. Makes this forum 40%-50% political bickering vs actual leather talk.

    Football leather is all sold.
  22. nstarleather
    Sure! It’s the last one, it had a small swatch cut from one end so I’ll round down the footage. Shoot me a message or email me at nstarleather@shtc.net and we’ll work out the details.

    I've got another Red Horween leather (that I don't like quite as much) has a light back and less oil/pull-up that I'd let you have for $3 a foot. Or I have a little bit of scrap but I'm not sure if it's enough.
  24. nstarleather
    I have one side left of oxblood Horween football print...I'm doing $4 a foot. It's not dirt cheap but it's $80ish plus shipping (not $200). I might also have some horween football print I could sell for even less (it's just not as pretty IMO).
