Don't Mourn, Organize! Leather Goods by Scott Willis

[urbanwoodsman]

@Mild7:

Ive had a mid wallet on order with Scott since last August..  Im starting to think its not going to happen, which is a real bummer.

Weird. I hope mine doesn't take that long. Is he waiting on a special leather or something? Like cordovan?

[Mild7]

Im not sure man.  I was told there would be a month or two wait.  Scott then contacted me in Mid October to discuss fine details, and to let me know he was starting on the job.

I have sent a few emails in December/Jan and havent heard back from him.

Dont get me wrong, I have been really happy dealing with Scott so far, and the radio silence for the last 3 months doesnt seem like him.  Maybe my emails are going into spam.. Or maybe he is just really busy, not sure.

He had told me 3 week wait at beginning of december. After we finalized details he told me he would contact when it was finished and I as well have had radio silence… hope all is well

I had honestly given up and thought maybe he just wasn't feeling it or forgot or something, now seeing your post makes me wonder what's going on.....

Personally, I got pretty quick responses. He answers about a couple days after.

Unless you're talking about the actual product being made, in which case, I've been waiting since Jan 20th. (no rush though)

[urbanwoodsman]

Got a response like 10mins after I emailed him today. It's been a few weeks since I'd OKed my projects and I just wanted to check up. He said he was sorry, he's super slammed but my wallet and belt should be done next week. We'll see.

[natehate]

yeah i got a really fast response to

[seanocono]

I'm sorry to hear that people are having trouble reaching Scott. That wasn't my experience at all.

Here is my 1.7" Natural American Harness Belt. Brushed heavy-duty buckle. 7 circular holes, 3/4" apart – due to my tendency to fluctuate in weight. I actually stole that idea from the Saddleback Old Bull belt.

Apologies for the low quality iPhone pics. It's the best I have, at the moment.

[tatmantall]

That thing is pretty gosh dang cool man!

[seanocono]

Thank you, I'm happy with how it turned out… Great advice on the 62 BTW.  I received 3/8" shrinkage all around -- resulting in a perfect fit.  Cheers!

[tatmantall]

Great news sir! Glad it worked out for you. Was actually wearing my 62 today

[joesaintjohn]

Okay, I need Sean's belt, albeit longer, and with a brass buckle. *beltswoon

[urbanwoodsman]

Should have these within a week. Can't wait.

16oz. Natural American Harness Belt with Brass buckle

Long wallet-
Inside- natural Front Quarter Horsehide
Outside- natural horsehide with Olive CXL details

Looks dope Shane. But dude is weird. Super fast communication then nothing.

[seanocono]

Anyone who willfully lives in Utah is a little weird, in my book.

He does excellent work, though.
