Albob Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Return customer asked for a mid length wallet and belt combo with his bands name and color. He asked for a purple fabric liner however I was able to change that to a little left over suede from a previous job. 5 card slots with a bill flap and receipt pocket behind the cards. Your thoughts, critiques and comments are always appreciated "Eat The Knife" in black with purple Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyAussie Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Nice looking work there @Albob.The stitching on the belt looks very good but the keeper....not so much. When I do keepers I always back off the top tension at least a half turn compared to the belt. They can still look good when they are out flat but when they get pulled around into shape the bottom thread gets loosened and the top gets tightened and ......bugga. I believe it is best to set the knot as close to the bottom as possible on keepers. Regards Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirbytorres Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Liner on the wallet looks awesome, as well as the stitches. Was the size of the wallet intentional? the bill does not seem to go all the way in. @RockyAussie what are "keeper"? Kirby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyAussie Report post Posted February 19, 2020 Sorry we call them keepers and some call them belt retainers. The loop that holds down the tongue after the belt tip goes through the buckle is what I call a belt keeper normally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
