Stamping A Logo Onto Soft Leather

Recommended Posts

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on how to stamp a soft leather and what tools that I would need. I have seen it done before but when I tried at home I couldn't seem to get it to work or leave deep enough impression. Thanks in advance!

I worked with a guy that took a name stamp and piece of chrome tan and put them in a vice over night i think it was and the impression was in there the next day. I don't know if it stayed that way or not for any length of time because things were sent out as soon as they were done. You can't tool chrome tan.

I've only really known people to do this with a hot stamp, basically a brand rather than stamping it. I've not done it myself though

I have a hot stamp machine (howard personalizer). It will imprint in chrome tan. It is kept cooler than a brand, so it does not really brand, more of a heat hardening.

Sometimes I have to Laser engrave to get a logo or photo in some leathers which turns

out pretty cool but I honestly believe that stamped looks so much better.

Milled vegtan is a soft leather that is supposed to be able to be stamped or tooled. I haven't tried it but I figure it would probably stretch out and distort as it has some degree of stretch to it. Gump.
