Horween Essex exterior, goat interior, painted and waxed edges, saddle stitched with Lin Cable. My edges turned out a little thick but I'm pretty happy with it. Need to work on my skiving.

Looks great! Did you use a pricking iron, stitching chisel, or traditional awl? How many stitches per inch?

I think it looks fantastic!  I would have put the blue on the outside, but you made your wallet work out.  I'm very envious of your stitching.

This one is definitely my favorite so far. The essex is so luxurious looking, especially with the blue interior.
