Members Rayban Posted August 29, 2013 Members Report Posted August 29, 2013 I have a request to make a simple messenger bag and I have some oil tanned on the way for it. The supplier suggested I line the bag, as oil from the leather may seep onto the contents of it...my question is, will a fabric of some sort be adequate lining or must it be leather? I was thinking maybe some duck canvass material would do well. Comments, suggestions?? Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Members WScott Posted August 29, 2013 Members Report Posted August 29, 2013 Would wait and see how "oily" it is. would think the fabric canvas would take care of any oil rub off. I used a Tandy Mustang oiled leather that is fine, is stored wrapped in brown butchers paper with no oil transfer. I also carry a Chromexel wallet in dress pants and not seen any oil staining. It will depend on your leather so test it out first. love the look and feel of oil tanned leather it is some of my favourite for sure Keep us posted Scott Quote
Members Rayban Posted August 29, 2013 Author Members Report Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks!, as a matter of fact it is Chromexel. I'll post results. Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Members WScott Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 I would describe Chromexel as waxy rather than oily. It feels and smells great, really nice stuff! What color is it??? I have a chocolate brown roll that is much waxier than a black roll. Looking forward to seeing the bag Cheers, Scott Quote

Members jus10 Posted December 7, 2013 Members Report Posted December 7, 2013 Can u dye the fresh side with chromexcel ? I got some that's too light on the flesh side and I don't really want to line it Quote
Members Sylvia Posted December 7, 2013 Members Report Posted December 7, 2013 I used a Tandy Mustang oiled leather that is fine, is stored wrapped in brown butchers paper with no oil transfer.....Scott Now that is a tip worthy of acknowledgment; no matter if it's oil tanned or not. The paper would help with light darkening on Veg tanned too. Thanks Scott! Syl Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot."
