Members bvdv Posted 4 hours ago Members Report Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Hello all, Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to create this small detail? You might overlook it at first, but when you look closer you can see how beautifully the leather has been worked. The passage is slightly raised, creating a nice protrusion. I would like to know how to achieve this effect, and also how the leather loop is securely fastened on the inside. Edit Now that is look closer the loop is stitched between the patch and the jacket. Still the other question remains: how do I create those nice bulges 😉 Thanks in advance, Bert Edited 4 hours ago by bvdv Quote
Members Dwight Posted 4 hours ago Members Report Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I'm assuming this is a loop between the shoulders to hang the jacket on a hook With that in mind . . . the "loop" leather would be popped thru that sort of oval piece . . . and then thru probably 8 oz little circles. It would then be splayed into 4 pieces . . . each would be glued and then cemented to the little circle Then you super wet the whole thing and form that semi oval using regular tools and let it dry . . . when it was originally cut . . . I would have cut it probably 1/2 inch wide all around it . . . and once dry . . . trim to the exact size you would want. Glue and stitch . . . re-dampen the oval . . . touch up the molding . . . done It is actually a novel piece of work . . . would add a bit of bling to the garment . . . I would never use it . . . but it is a cool touch May God bless, Dwight Edited 4 hours ago by Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members BlackDragon Posted 1 hour ago Members Report Posted 1 hour ago It looks to me like the two circles the leather goes through are grommets that were painted. If you look at the edge of the patch there is a spot where the leather is thicker. I believe that's where the loop leather is anchored, much like you make a purse handle. it's tubular in the center and flat on the ends. It just passes through two grommets. It's a neat concept but I would worry if it can take the weight of the jacket for long. I guess if it's large enough it can be ok. Quote
