@nstarleather I just put up a wanted - do you have any 8-9 oz black veg tan - long enough for some belts I need to do ? Looking for affordable price.

Hi all. I have an order for some black belts. 3 or 4 total. I need to buy some black, struck through, firm veg tan. 8-9 oz. Average length belts (48-50 minimum). Looking for a double shoulder or partial side. No embossed "hair hole" finish or protective coat. Been having trouble getting something at a good price from all the usual places (springfield, maverick, etc). Budget 65 total plus shipping about - b or c grade hides totally fine. Any body have something we can discuss? Thanks all. Black Latigo ok too. Same weight size etc.

I got my die - used it - well made, sharp, good cutting qualities and clean. I got the one with the precut stitching holes - for my use they are less needed as I prefer to hand punch my holes - but they worked for what they are, slotted precuts. I would say the seller was true to his word and has a good enough product for sales. I also left my review on Etsy. Thank you @Leo1995

Die received! Feedback to follow shortly.

Oh nm. Math off.

Am I seeing that right on the horween - 80$ approximate for the 4 per square foot ? very interested (page 5) And do you have any latigo sides? (any brand)

I did. I paid 2.90 (or so) through the Etsy store - seemed safe enough for me. I have a tracking number that looks legit. When I get it I will give feedback to the poster as to its construction and results of using it. Simple enough for me, I get an affordable die - helps the seller.

Great. Looking forward to what you send me for testing and feedback! Glad you're here.

I use both - I had some custom dies made for a project I did - these were well made by Texas Custom. I also have some standard circle and square coaster dies. So it may be (at least for me) a mix of both custom and standard. As for having stitching holes - the idea is awesome - but would have to test. (If you have one - I will test it ) I have never used one with these. I use an arbor press and have used a modified button press. (Hobby - funds do not exist for me for a clicker.) Important factors to me are strength, sharpness and inner punch out hole. Probably in that order (again to my thinking). Dies for production items frankly are extremely useful to me. And yes...I will gladly take a keychain die and pay the 3$ - thank you Good luck.

My daily wear. Latigo. Beat to heck. Simple and never get tired of it.

I been out a bit but back and I like the new look - @Johanna - I can appreciate the work you're doing (sys admin here) - maybe look into a free Cloudflare account for their wicked fast DNS propagation, caching, speed and free ssl ? (usually free ) just a suggestion. Keep it up. This is by far the best site for leather on the net.

Those are quick rivets.

Well... is any such design one's own ? (I found some photos on the interwebs and modified).

If it isn't obvious - I will do custom work if anyone is interested. Send me a PM reply here.

Hi all been a bit. Not been posting but not out of the game though. Did great at a fair on the north shore few weeks ago. Lots of sales. Did this watch strap for myself. Thin 2 oz veg tanned. Ecoflow Tandy dye.

Snazzy!

Awesome set up. Good work.

Nicely done.

Nice! Very brave of you indeed!

Good luck! Wee bit far for me. Oh well.

That’s really good!

Nicely done!
