GrampaJoel Report post Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) You have come a very long way Sir. your quality is Very High! I hope you get a ton of cash for this pair. if I may, may I suggest, in hope of furthering you skills, That you use a bobbin thread ( the back side thread) color to match the leather, so it doesn’t stand out so much. the white looks great on the front. But on the back not so much. See picture and circled area I attached. Joel Edited August 2, 2023 by GrampaJoel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that was my biggest problem with these chaps. Coming off that ledge can get a lil messy underneath. That's a great idea. Thank you!
