Dose someone know how they do the "rolled leather" ?

A customer wants me to make a rolled leather dog collar & lead.

Here is a photo of what he wants.

I have an idea, but I need to know the steps of how it's done.

I was wondering if you came right with the above? I've received a similar request with leather trim stitched onto rope (detail similar to the lead handle joint, just thicker). I'm battling with the stitching going up and down the rope. Thinner rope is not so difficult, but I haven't cracked 16mm rope for large collars. I'd appreciate any insight or tips.

i just bought two or three of these, they were on clearance and were cheaper to buy than the hardware on them. I bought them for the hardware so just cut it off and tossed them in the bin i can deconstruct one if you would like to see how these were made. But they are just a piece of leather for the center then sandwiched inside a thinner piece and sewn down the side and rounded a bit. Store bought isn't as nice as most here would make so deconstructing might not help alot.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

You can modify this one you don't have roll all the way up to your fitting by just leaving it as a normal buckle turn. Will not look as refined but will work.

Hope this helps

It is more typical of a rolled handle for handbags.  On this one I used 3/8" nylon rope and glued and wrapped it with 4 ounce leather and sewed.  I think my dog would be embarrassed wearing that.  It doesn't look very comfortable.

JH Leather does a couple of different methods, here is one.

 

Hi, I am making a rolled leather lead but with a very soft PU Vegan Leather. The finished product is a little stiff.

1. Can you tell me the thickness of rope and is thin better? What I used looks thicker than yours. 

2. Or is the Vegan leather the problem in regards to the overall stiffness.

It’s driving me nuts, hope you can help.

Thank you!
