Members Mocivnik Posted June 27, 2022 Members Report Posted June 27, 2022 Customer wanted me to do some specific edges, as I got this photo for reference. Ever since I used to burnish edges with wooden slicker + water, later on I added pro dye or edge kote, depends what I had at home. But these edges seems to look completely different, anyone got any idea on how to achieve them? Would be really helpful. Quote

A soft-ish leather on the top with a heavier leather on the underside, burnished before sewing. What are they, cuffs ??

But no matter the leather beneath the edge, I still think it's some sort of wax/rubber that you somehow "install" to the edge. Quote
Members Matt S Posted June 27, 2022 Members Report Posted June 27, 2022 It's edge paint. Probably several thin coats over a sanded/profiled edge. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 27, 2022 CFM Report Posted June 27, 2022 the picture isn't clear enough to tell if its even leather on the inside. Maybe a faux leather product with a "genuine leather" outer piece.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 27, 2022 CFM Report Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) this is a faux leather bracelet too. I agree if it is real veg tan leather then what Fred and Matt said.

Members TomE Posted June 27, 2022 Members Report Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) You could achieve a similar look making a padded strap. I typically use 1/8" neoprene and 3 oz leather for the padded liner, sewn on a 8-10 oz strap. JH Leather has several videos with variations of this construction. Also, those bracelets look like raised leather - a thin filler inserted between the front and back of a split strap, wet molded and sewn. JH Leather covers that as well.

Members battlemunky Posted June 27, 2022 Members Report Posted June 27, 2022 That's edge paint, guaranteed. You can see where they sanded it a little shallow on the one pic. If you are really wanting to learn how to paint edges, check out Corter Leather's channel on YT and he has a few excellent videos on how to nail painted edges. He makes it look pretty simple. Even though paint eventually peels off, it looks great at the time of selling, if that is what your customer desires. Quote
