Thor Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 ... I bought now one Sedgwick shoulder (10 sq ft) by Abbey England and included the shipping cost (30 GBP) and taxes (20% VAT) i paid 164 euro.... :/ I don't buy there. Too expensive for what I need and want. Most of my veg tan comes from Spain, which is top notch quality. The last double-bend I bought through my wholesaler was 1.6 m² and 5 mm thick at 120 EUR. We should see a little price drop by the end of this year in Europe. I doubt it will last for very long, but this should be the result of this year's dryness. Quote
Members skalpel Posted August 27, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2015 Did you add a metal bar between liner and outer shell for the leather that holds the d ring? Do you think it is necessary? Also does the d ring for the handle suppose to be used in that orientation? Yes I do that. In my opinion it is very important. Otherwise leather could tear at this place. What stitching punch do you use? I don't use them I use a overstitch wheel in size circa 6 spi. One piece of information I read on handles, only on the inside piece (touching the actual D ring) is to have the grain side touching the ring. Because it is a very high stress area it would need the most strength, so naturally the grain side is the first option. Grain is stronger than flesh. Very thanks for this information. I will use them in the next project This is how look this briefcase after one year of use. Quote
