Pretty nice job. I always like a case with a crease line.

Your stitching looks pretty good, but you could shorten the stitch by half for some balance.

7 per inch would look good on a case this size.

Nice Job! You sure don't need anymore stitching advise.

By the look of these maybe you didn't need any in the first place.

Beautiful.

You made a valid point before and thank you for that :) I think that no matter how experienecd one is, any advice from someone even more experienced might be helpful.

Nice work.

For snapless, you might want to try one that has a military style to it. A lot of European / Asian ammo pouches (German, Russian, Yugo,,,,) use a metal stud on the bottom, and a leather strap that has a tight fitting hole to the stud. These leather pouches were used from WWI-till about the 50's when other materials started to make inroads into the military equipment usage. A lot of the later cloth models use a wooden toggle that gets passed through a loop. That would look nice too, as nice woods could be used to accentuate the pouch. Maybe even a strong magnet to keep a clean look.

Just as I was wondering how you kept the metal snap from rubbing up against the lighter...walla!!...the snapless pouch.

Nice......may I ask what weight leather you use for these?

I like the black one without the push-up hole better.

But they all look great!

Customer especially wanted without any metal parts. I have studs waiting for the hole/stud design :). Thanks for the other ideas!

I secure the inside with a thin leather. Hmm...not sure abouth the weight (thye charge for sqr/ft) It's 2-3 mm thick.

Stamps were ordered here. http://www.leprevo.c.../embossing.htm. They make it from Magnesium plate. You need to send them black and white design and in return you receive plate with embossed stamps. The thing is you pay for sq in (min. being 20 sq in) and its up to you how many stamps/logos etc you wish to include there. Its not as durable as engraved stamps but the stamp/price is really good. And besides, leather is fairly soft so I dont think it will wear of

I use PALC leather balm http://www.palc.es/i..._balsams.html#3
