That leather is nice One day I'll try some out. Is it chrome tan? Yes. It's a buffed finish pull-up from Acadia. It's called crazy horse. I can't remember the color. If you follow Acadia on Instagram they have sales almost daily that aren't listed on their website. It may even be considered an oil tan. The color change our "pull-up" is achieved by stuffing it with tallows and waxes. It's pretty weather friendly, but on a side note, it doesn't glue very well. 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.

AndyL1 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Posted October 25, 2019 Very nice! I love the leather combination. The brown against the crazyhorse is perfect. Nice job! Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook
Members Dpalmay Posted October 25, 2019 Members Report Posted October 25, 2019 Nice bag there Mutt! I've used a couple of his patterns so far, and have enjoyed them. Some are machine friendly, but many aren't without modifications. Although modifying them will make them all yours, so I guess it's a wash on that. Quote

Mutt, you are right about gluing that type of leather. The only way to have a chance is to use a really good contact cement and roughen the two surfaces of leather A BUNCH. Let the cement sit a while, don't be in a hurry to put the two sides together. BTW, let's see some pictures after you have used the bag for a while. That leather wears very nicely I bet and will take on a very unique patina. Edited October 25, 2019 by Tugadude Quote

I actually have an associate/buddy test driving that bag this week. He'll be buying it. 5 hours ago, Dpalmay said: Nice bag there Mutt!
