esantoro Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I had posted pictures of LCI's edge coatings but the labeling of colors was not clear or nonexistent. I have now edited the pictures so that the name of the color is clearly labeled in the picture itself. My stock includes: LCI Black, LCI Calf Tan, LCI Amber #195, and LCI Dark Brown. I'm in the process of getting the DYO Dark Brown. Ed Edited June 16, 2008 by esantoro Quote
esantoro Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 I had been wanting to experiment with mixing these colors to get the exact shade I want. I mixed @ tsp. of amber with @ five drops of black and got a better matching color for W&C med brown bridle leather. Pics will come later in the week. ed Quote

I would say the coating holds up better than the Fiebings does. Here's a bag recently finished with the edges done up with the LCI edge finish. Ed Quote

Members xlr8tn Posted June 24, 2008 Members Report Posted June 24, 2008 Very nice! Might I ask what type of leather you used? I'd like to make a watch strap out of the same stuff. Is that machine or hand stitched? Thanks, Brent Quote

High stress areas -- corners, joints, seam ends, handle, dees, strap retainers -- are hand stitched, about 40 percent of the total stitching. The rest is machine stitched. ed Quote
Members Monticore Posted November 7, 2008 Members Report Posted November 7, 2008 since lci doesn't sell to small timers like me and weaver only sells their similar product(from i have read its similar) only to registered businesses is there somewhere else i could find a similar edge paint.? i really like the fact it comes in different colors i assume like me most people like using leather colors other than brown or black.
