Members Stetson912 Posted October 12, 2018 Members Report Posted October 12, 2018 I've been making things for everyone else lately I decided to make myself this new wallet. Let me know what you think. Alligator Embossed cow hide dyed black (it was an insettling grey color to start) stuck to a 2-3 oz veg tan backer. Interior is 2-3 oz veg tan. 50/50 is mop n glo finish. All comments and critiques welcome. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 I concur with other Matt. Nice looking functional wallet. 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.

Members Stetson912 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks everyone. @JLSleather, I was using one of your minimalists for a long time. But thought I'd switch to this when I saw how that embossed leather cleaned up. And if anyone ever asks me what I make I have an example haha. I know how it is too. Get busy making every one else stuff you neglect the things you want... Then you end up with a $10 nylon wallet from Walmart... Hahaha! Just teasing ya Kind of a "everyone's car runs but the mechanics" situation haha Quote
Members battlemunky Posted October 13, 2018 Members Report Posted October 13, 2018 Looks good. I've thought about getting some of that embossed gator and seeing things like this I'm really running out of excuses. Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2018 Thsnks @battlemunky, Im probably going to paint the edges. It doesn't burnish all that well honestly. But I'm not sure if it's chrome or not. But it dyed nice and finished well, so that works for me. I only wish I had a colored thread because I'm proud of the stitching on this one. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted October 13, 2018 Members Report Posted October 13, 2018 Quite nice , well done . Perhaps finish off the edges a bit , but otherwise quite nice. The ' Gator' has a nice shine . HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
