I was asked to repair a game strap for someone as a gift for his brother. His brother has the same name as their father, who passed away, and the top one was the one that he used. I honestly love doing projects/repairs for heirloom items like this. The bottom one was not ordered, but I liked the gesture, so I made an extra one for him. The back of the straps are lined, and they have their names and birthdays stamped into the lining.

This is a Santa belt that I finished last month. It's 4" wide and pretty long ( I don't want to give away Santa's measurements). Made from Herman Oak veg tan and dyed black. Lined with the same. The buckle is solid brass, so it will have no problem making the trip around the world. I'm still not good at taking pictures....

Finally got the new shop built out and I've been busy catching up on orders, so I haven't had much time to post pictures, but here is a custom laptop bag that I finished a couple of weeks ago. It's made of Buroda Buffalo leather from . The back pocket has padding between the suede lining and the body for a little more protection for the laptop. The straps are made from chestnut hot stuffed harness leather. The shoulder strap pad and the handle on the top of the bag are also padded for comfort. The entire bag, from zippers to body panels and small finishing pieces, was 100% hand stitched. I could have used my sewing machine, but this piece needed hand stitching. I'm my opinion it looks better, and it will hold up better over time with a quality saddle stitch.

My first duffle bag is complete. I had wanted to make one for a long time and I had a little time between orders and decided to knock one out. I used 2 different oil tan sides for a color contrast between the body and the straps/pocket. It was a lot of work but I think it turned out pretty sweet for my first attempt. The next one will have some adjustments to my pattern and most likely some piping. My Cobra class 26 made the process go a lot more smoothly and I used #69 thread

This is a low profile womens zip wallet with 6 card slots on each side which are opposite of each other to keep it slim. This is the first time working with Shrut & Asch kidskin from in dark teal. This stuff is awesome. 2 oz thick and has a great finished surface. I used Aaron's technique from to make the card slot pockets using Tyvek tape that I ordered from them. It really cuts down on the headaches that come from working on thin leather pockets.
