Members DominickTuroski Posted September 17, 2018 Members Report Posted September 17, 2018 Very admirable stitching Quote
Members Clintock Posted September 17, 2018 Members Report Posted September 17, 2018 Man I like the color of those suckers! You dye em yerself? Nice work too Quote
bikermutt07 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Very clean. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Nice work too Thank you. The one with the initials is Show Brown and the wallet and other pocket protector are Chocolate. Fiebings Pro Dye, airbrushed on. Subtle difference hard to tell in picture.

Members bdpeters Posted September 17, 2018 Members Report Posted September 17, 2018 very niice looking lines and stitching. Quote
Members Mattsbagger Posted September 17, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 17, 2018 Thank you everyone. Quote
Members RusticLeatherShop Posted September 18, 2018 Members Report Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) How much Charge you for that? I dont see any propperly burnished edges! Try binding with matching colour Nylon webbing. Besides that, what do they really protect? I dont see any compartment for pens, and the like which Shows they can hold something. The rivets give a elegant tone to the pocket protectors but lately I had to patch up an rivet on an commercially bought pistol Holster since it got in contact with the gun and scratched it up.

Members RegisD Posted September 20, 2018 Members Report Posted September 20, 2018 Good leather work. Quote Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.
Members Mattsbagger Posted September 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 23, 2018 4 more on the way out the door. Quote

Members RusticLeatherShop Posted October 1, 2018 Members Report Posted October 1, 2018 Whats that supposed to be Larry? I cant figure out which purposes those items serve. Seem utterly impractical. Quote

Members RusticLeatherShop Posted October 2, 2018 Members Report Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) I wonder how those shiny laquered leather items look like after a month of exposed "flatulances and farts" mingled with some "bodily effluences" from daily use when worn in the back pocket near the ass. I guess at that Point nobody ever cares about the burnish or not since that is most likely warped and wrinkled like an "ol' russian mamushkas Skin which has been just overrun by an SS Stormtroop" (even if she once upon a time was a nice Young Lady).

Members battlemunky Posted October 2, 2018 Members Report Posted October 2, 2018 When it is done well, like the above articles, they'll last decades with little issue aside from patina. Maybe some scratching depending on tools used. Doing it well is the entire reason they last. It is why it needs to be done well, so it'll last many many years with nothing but character developing.

Contributing Member fredk Posted October 2, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted October 2, 2018 They are nicely made and attractive at the same time. I reckon they'll last the owners quite a whiles They are not something I think would be sought after in N.I. or even the UK as a whole. We have no 'history' of carrying pens in top pockets. Although, my father, being from Chicago, carried a full office in his top pocket I wish we had a 'like' button Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

We have no 'history' of carrying pens in top pockets. Although, my father, being from Chicago, carried a full office in his top pocket I second that. It's a niche product. People can't put in their Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Netflix, Youtube, and what not into them. For delivery guys and such which write down things "the ol' way" it may be a good Thing but most of us have written something the past 10 years only on electronic Keyboards and not with a pen. Besides that it's an single purpose item meaning useless for other things than EDC pencils and pens. Well to each their own! Quote
