aaah, okay, good idea!

[Giles]

I like the way that you have utilised the full width of the denim on the straps, thus retailing the selvedge detail…...

[nietenhosen]

…and there were no waste, very ecological friendly, haha.
thank you man.

Hahahaha. My thoughts exactly. But each man is allowed his own preference on strap length I guess.

Leather question:

I'm getting a new phone this or next week (work phone), I was thinking about sewing a small leather pouch for it, preferably in veg. tanned natural leather. Suggestions for thickness/weight and where I can get this kind of leather in small amounts?

It's for carrying me lunches at workdays, (at winter time when I'm not riding a bike), you crazy fecker and occasionally to get me some beer at my local grocery store…

I wouldn't call it a purse, it's 35x37 cm.

I found this: http://zackwhite.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17213&cat=647&page=1

that strap is 3" wide, an iphone 4s is 2.28" wide. Meaning that I'll have 0.72" for two seams and "bend".. is that a bit narrow for such thick/heavy leather? will I have problems getting it out of the sleeve if I make it of that heavy leather?

Ps: I was planning on a process similar to the one in this guide: http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/diy-project/diy-how-to-make-your-own-great-leather-ipodiphone-case-067510
