Members Ski Posted September 10, 2013 Members Report Posted September 10, 2013 Hi All, I've never really shown my work here, but I guess its about time I show you a belt Ive made for myself since my last one has disappeared somewhere and I feel naked while camping without one. Made from Spanish Veg Tanned Cowhide, 0.3cm and 0.2cm hand sewn together using 1mm Tiger thread. Treated in neatsfoot oil only. Your comments are most welcomed. Quote

Members Ski Posted September 12, 2013 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 Thank you. being 50 inches long took a long time to sew together but proud of this one Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted September 12, 2013 Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 looks great! very clean and awesome stitching. Quote
Members El Zipster Posted September 12, 2013 Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Ski Great work mate Where did you get the Spanish Veg Tan from? I ask because I've recently moved to Spain and am having difficulty in locating a supplier over here and was asking in the hope that you may have bought it from Spain. Cheers Zip Quote
Members Ski Posted September 12, 2013 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Zip, I bought it from a UK supplier and was told they source their leathers from Spain. Give them a try they are very helpful they might point you in the right direction www.theidentitystore.co.uk As it happens, I'm on the lookout for English leather with no luck so far. Quote
Members Lavendara Posted September 12, 2013 Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 That is a very lovely belt. Excellent work with the basket weave. I wish I could get mine to look as good. Quote
Members lightningad Posted September 12, 2013 Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 As it happens, I'm on the lookout for English leather with no luck so far. theres a few places you could try...leprevo.co.uk, jwoodleathers.co.uk, jfjbaker.co.uk abbey as your in manchester - Abbey is in Knutsford, and J Woods are near Skipton, so not too far if you fancy a drive out. adam Quote
Members Ski Posted September 12, 2013 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2013 oo, I regularly shop at Abbey but never thought to ask them the source of their leather. Leprevo is good but the ordering system is terrible. Quote
