Just to make sure, Is that what are we talking about? I was thinking of stitching the logo on the sides, but then I went for the rivets The other strap guides, yes, maybe a stitching would have been better, but I'am still learning, and that was the design, and didn't think "will curl up " one day I do appreciate the comments and suggestions though. I basically learned leather craft from Youtube tutorials Cheers Quote

It is both blessing and curse. Blessing because in my career it has served me well. I oftentimes have to determine why something failed (in construction) and the why is frequently a small detail easy to overlook. A curse because I notice things like that strap keep and cannot forget it. To me, bringing it up is an attempt to help a fellow leatherworker. It isn't a criticism for the sake of same, but hopefully it creates an opportunity for the maker to reflect and who knows, maybe agree that it could be improved. What I don't think is particularly helpful is noticing something and not mentioning it. Telling someone "hey, that looks awesome" when you see something you believe could be done differently isn't helpful in my opinion. I'd want others to do the same for me. Yes, that keep is already sagging and in time the edges will curl. Not in keeping with the overall look, which is very nice. That's all. It's cool. Didn't take it as a criticism.... I appreciate the input. If I get to make another one, for a paying customer, I will stitch them Quote

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
