Hey guys Here is a duffel bag I recently finished. It was made with dead stock calf skin leather from the YSL (yves Saint Laurent) accessory line. It has an embossed pebble grain/stingray pattern with a durable top coat, much like Saffiano leather. The bag is sewn at 6 spi (7 tpi) with 432 fil au chinois thread. Nickle plated hardware. Riri zipper. Leather is 4 oz. Thanks for looking Chris

Heya, Here are the first two bifold wallets I ever made and I would love to get some feedback on what things I should improve. On the two-tone wallet I used braided nylon thread and on the light brown one i was trying out the fil au chinois thread i just recieved. It is like learning to sew leather all over again. The leather is tumbled veg tan full grain italian leather. Images: More images: https://imgur.com/a/ytfBx

Hi all, I have been using Ritza tiger thread since starting up in leather work but have recently been trying out some Fil Au Chinois as there are many people who prefer this thread. The issue I have is keeping the thread in the needle, with tiger thread I can lock it in by threading the needle and then using the needle to pierce the thread and creating a knot around the eye of the needle, Fil Au Chinois is too thin and does not have a flat edge like tiger thread does, so more or less every time I pull the tension on each stitch the thread will come out of the needle, unless I have a huge amount of thread to pull through each time which would ultimately waste thread. Thanks! Ross

Just finished another wallet. Stitching improving, I think. Had to use the awl on this one, and used Fil Au Chinois 532 thread. Still 3mm stitching irons. Chose to line this one as well. I may use this one if it doesn't sell fast! YinTx© YinTx

Hey guys, I have 6 brand new and unused 50gr spools of Lin Cable in the 532 size (same size Hermes uses). I bought them for a project and realized on arrival that they wouldn't work for what I want to do so I'm trying to recoup some of the cost. These came directly from Sojou in France, the ecru and Hermes orange color took a month to arrive due to demand. The yellow has had maybe a few feet removed from it, other than that these are all 100% new. Thanks guys! Price: 200 USD for all 6 Shipping: FREE CONUS Payment: PayPal + 4% PPal Fees
