Tooled Tank Bib

[Sicksteene]

Made a basic bib, no pockets, etc. wanted to see how it would hold up in the extremities. Comments, critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Sicksteene, I love skulls as well.

Looks good, what did you line it with to keep from scratching the paint?

The bib is constructed of two layers of 5-6 oz leather glued and hand stitched together. Thanks for the kind words. As an added detail I also stitched the baseball style lacing. My other obsession, until I started working with leather I didn't think I would find a hobby that hurt the wallet as much.

I made a bag to go between my license plate and solo rack it is out of 9 to 10 oz leather. I vinagrooned it black and use Aussie conditioner on it occasionally. I have had it there about six months and it has scuffed the paint on the fender a little. Not bad but I know it's there which is why I was asking. I have seen some posts where they lined a bib with felt to help. Any way the bib looks good I notice the baseball lacing, I like it.
