      injun, are you going to carry your undergarments & feminie hygine products in that purse 😉

      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?

        Seize the day and don't you cry.

          great score injun & seriously great job nietenhosen.

          injun, are you going to carry your undergarments & feminie hygine products in that purse 😉 nietenhosen i would like a backpack, put me on your waiting list.

          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

              I think you need to get the leather thinner where you are going to sew. Half thickness is good, then you get the sewn part to be as thick as one side/strap. Hope you understand what I'm saying.

              I think I'd use around 5oz. leather lined with 1-2oz leather. for such item.

              just my 2 cents

                Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll stick to your advice 🙂 Any links to good how-toes on sewing lining?

                  glue the lining to outer part. and still make the edges/area where to be sewn thinner, even with 5 oz leather.

                  Get one of these to get edges beveled.

                      aha– you got it pimped/strenghtened. Or they're evolving. 🙂

                                    i'm no tough guy & i never hide the fact that i wear stockings under my mid-weight Iron Heart's (18 oz devils are mid weight in the scheme of things).  you also forgot to mention chaps, be secure in your skin.

                                    back to bizness, what's your next project?

                                            ih forum,
                                            just wanted to show you the jeans of my nine years old son which i made for him early oktober this year.
                                            the way they shred their pants in just that short time is crazy!
                                            surely not worn everyday and often in the washing machine and the dryer.


                                            and some rusty hardware…



                                            have a nice weekend
