Lederhose suspenders

[hanzosbm]

I think I probably spent twice as much on tools as it would've cost to just have someone make them, but it was a fun introduction into leather working.  Who knows, after a bit of a break, maybe I'll try a second project.

Hermann Oak ~9oz with a white lambskin liner.  The green piping was buffalo calf I bought pre-dyed and the buckles and buttons to attach them were ordered.

Closer look at the chest piece

Thank you very much.  And yes, for all intents and purposes, this is my first project.  (I made a simple belt pouch ~23 years ago, but that was it)

Of course, as soon as I showed my 3 year old the completed set, he immediately said he wants some like Daddy's.  We'll see what happens.

Thank you.  And yes, the German club I belong to has our Oktoberfest this weekend, hence my timetable to complete them.  I'm really looking forward to showing them off.

Well done!  The style and design are first rate.  You will be a standout.

Fabulous I'd be proud to have those hold my pants up. Beautiful work.

I think they look great! At this age my lederhosen have a stretch waistband!
