Contributing Member Ferg Posted September 29, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted September 29, 2015 SLC is making their own liners in house. Has anyone used them. Curious as to the quality of them etc. Don't get these confused with the Chinelli. ferg Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 30, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted September 30, 2015 I got a few a while back.... had to try them out. Actually, I found them too thick, and they didn't have a particularly quality feel. Now, I didn't order one of everything, but I wouldn't order any more of the 6-pocket or 4-pocket card versions I tried out. If you've ever seen tandy's "mission grain" pig, it's basically that same texture, but considerably thicker. My opinion, TOO thick for a wallet. I've made a lot of my own over time, but I was actually hoping they were going to be able to handle that FOR me. Perhaps down the road ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Chief31794 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I've used them, same comments as JLSleather. I bought a consew just for sewing wallet interiors, and I design my own on Inkscape. I prefer it that way. Their liners were ok, just not quite the quality I was looking for. I also tried the CF line they carry, nice but way too pricey and they are way to thick. I've designed mine to use minimal thin pigskin and use as much faille cloth as possible to keep them slim. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Wraith Posted September 30, 2015 Members Report Posted September 30, 2015 Which of their lines did you try. I see they have three different lines and wondered if maybe there was a difference in thickness between them. Brian Quote Brian https://www.facebook.com/LeatherAndPens
Chief31794 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I tried them before they came out with the "lines", they still have the ones I used. This is the one I used in Brown I also tried the black. http://springfieldleather.com/19020/Interior%2C6-Pocket-Dlx.Brn-ea./ Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Contributing Member Ferg Posted October 1, 2015 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 1, 2015 I didn't care for the look of those. I did order a couple of the higher priced to see what they looked like. I prefer making my own but like to see what folks are doing plus a ready source helps if you get real busy. ferg Quote

Contributing Member Ferg Posted October 2, 2015 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Received my SLC liners today. One four pocket wallet in Simply Classic One Ladies Clutch The Clutch purse is definitely the better of the two. Quality on the wallet is questionable, it is not their best. I believe I will continue making my own. ferg Edited October 2, 2015 by 50 years leather Quote
