Hello everyone, I'm trying to get a replacement for the leather necklace I've been wearing for over 15 years, or roughly half my life. You can see the wear and tear, I'm looking for something similar but more durable. This necklace means a lot to me and I feel naked without it. What it looked like new: I saw this on etsy and it's extremely close to what I want. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1690863787/the-warriors-collarnecklace-with-6mm Issues and other observations: 1. He only does braided leather. I do not want braided because I'm worried it'll get gunky in the braids, especially since I work outdoors. I almost never take the necklace off and yes, I shower with it. I've even gone into the ocean with it. I haven't had problems with water while wearing mine, and I've been wearing it a very long time. 2. The designs on the metal connecting bits that he has available don't quite appeal to me (besides the one I linked all the others are various animal heads) but it's the closet I've found to what I'm looking for short of just ordering a direct replacement, which I'm not keen on. 3. I do really like that it eliminates the need for the lobster claw clasp in the back. Seems like it'll be more secure than the flimsy ring I have now too. I'm always very worried I'm going to lose part or all of my necklace. Email: https://pastelink.net/y5icv1im I also have discord if that works better but you have to email me to get my username. Fair warning I might take up to a week to respond. I mentioned I work outdoors, and I'm often sent to remote places for about 8 days at a time. I check for messages to this address when I'm home. Thanks for your consideration!

I bought a prop for a costume I wear as part of a charity group. The strap is part of a holster, but I need it widened to accommodate a modification I made. I initially worked with the vendor that create the holster, but he's in Itally. It took a good almost a month for him to make it, and then the shipping took forever, with a long pause for customs, and it ultimately was too long (although I think that part was my fault, I over-estimated how long I needed it). I'd really like to commission someone in the US. It should be a fairly simple job. A strap about 3/4" x 15" with snaps on either side. The strap is currently 14.5" and will need to be lengthened. From the center of one snap to the center of the other is 13 1/4". I would like this to be 13 5/8. If your quote is reasonable, and you'd be willing, I might be wiling to pay for one slightly shorter and one slight longer just to be sure I finally get something I can use. The snaps are 1/2" wide z The strap is 3/4" wide. I can be reached via email at wraithtdk at Gmail dot com.
