Thank you Josh. I used 2mm natural veg tan shoulder which I dyed.

That is a very nice looking bag. Well done.

Thank you

So I am new, and maybe wanting to try a bag like this. Can somebody please tell me what the welts are for? Why use them? Are the functional or decorative? Thank you guys for all of the help. Josh

Magnificent bag .I very much enjoyed your post !THANK YOU!!!!! If you cut a piece of scrap and put it over your copper rivets with the proper size hole then cut off leaving a little . Then file down flush with the scrap taking care not to damage surrounding leather( bigger scrap piece might be necessary) . Now remove scrap and dome .This gives a very nice finished look and all your posts are the same height . Just a few extra steps make for a very classy finish .I am very impressed with this . WELL DONE !

Hi Jonas, very nice bag.

The welts/piping are added because they protect the stitches which get exposed when you turn the bag inside out.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm no longer working for Skindhuset, by the way. So my only affiliation is being an occasional customer there.

Hi Simon, Thank you and thank you for your advice regarding the leather thickness It's a shame that you no longer work for skindhuset. I liked the service you provided.
