I recently purchased some python snakeskin. I would like to make a jacket out of it, will I need to back the leather before sewing? Or will it hold the stitches together? if backing is needed, could you please advise on best procedure/ material please?

Hello all I’m getting rid of of some leathers that I don’t use during this confinement period and because of Corona it’s been quite hard making sales as I’m sure it’s impacted everyone in the leather-working community. So for sale I have 3 Nubuck skins from Tannerie masure in Grey, dark blue and Bordeaux they are around 12-13sqft each and a thickness of about 2-3mm I’m selling each hide of Nubuck for 45$ I have one remaining Brown calf skin lining used for the insides of shoes from tannerie Masure in Belgium. As you can see in the picture it has one hole in the middle and is around 13sqft. The flesh side is ultra soft and has a lovely suede feel and is being sold for 30$ then I have a selection of remaining vintage snake skins from an Italian tannerie dating around 1983-5 they are in grey, beige and a polished silver look. The grey and beige skins are 5€ each and the silver are 12€. i ship internationally from Belgium and if there are multiple purchase I can definitely work out a discount! any and all questions are welcome!

I am selling a TON of snakeskin hides. They are all about 4"-4.5" wide and 45-60" long. I am selling them at $20 a piece or if you want 5+ pieces I can give a discount. 10+ pieces and I'll discount even more, etc. Email me or message! Rachael@heavyleathernyc.com

I want to make a belt from python and/or snakeskin. How many ounces should the lining be? Should i also back the python with a thin piece of leather? I normally back it linen however have noticed that other leatherworkers projects looks as though they have padding between the two pieces, the exotic and veg-tan. Thanks.

Here's a few of my projects that I have just finished recently and would like some insight, opinion and criticism on anything if possible. I'm not a professional by any standard and I just do this as a time killer during weekends. Here's a weaved card wallet, goat skin for the weaved front, and cow for the rear(unweaved) I wasn't able to finish the edge as cleanly as I wanted, how do you guys/girls bevel goat skin considering it is so soft? This was just a pretty small skin of a snake that I got for fun, just wanted to play with it. wasn't sure how to go with it. Same thing for the snake skin how do people even bevel these things? once I place the beveller the skin folders, so I just cut a straight line and called it a day, hated finishing this one. Here's a weaved pouch with lamb suede interior and cow exterior, how do you guys finish edges with zippers? I wasn't able to get the edge where leather meets zipper to finish as flush as I wanted. Here's the whole thing all together. And as a bonus, here's an even larger pouch finished in goat for exterior and interior. How do you guys/girls flip a bag inside out without the sewn seam folding at the corners? I tried to do angled cuts at the seams to help it fold better at the corners but it just wouldn't stay straight at all. Any opinion & criticism is welcome.

The story and pics are here, sorry, I gotta run, but I wanted to "show off".....if you want to post the pictures in this thread PLEASE DO....I have a hard time figuring out all the internet forum quirks, Thanks!
