Don't Mourn, Organize! Leather Goods by Scott Willis
-
thanks guys, SG got me thinking and I got ahold of Scott last night… told him from what I have seen of his work it looks top quality; however, with the way this has been handled I don't feel comfortable with proceeding. He said sent me back another brief message saying he understands and sorry for the hassle. All in all, maybe I'm just a fluke accident one of the people that fell through the cracks. I have heard a lot of positive stuff about Scott. I hold no ill will, I cannot imagine him gaining a fairly good reputation if this was occurring on a regular basis. Everyone is human and things happen, but it is time for me to move on.

couple quickies for you
natural harness 1.7
black harness 1.7
brown harness 1.5
changed out the buckle on the brown harness for a copper buckle i ordered from tanner goods, i did belt and buckle combo with my roy ducks in mind (yes im weird and ocd and like having a belt for each pair of pants)
wish i could find a copper 1.7 buckle
the brown is a seriously nice color
these belts are heavy duty -
Wow, Nate. I love that copper buckle. I agree the brown color is nice, too. I also have a natural harness 1.7 from Scott. It will take a bit to break in and get comfortable, but it will be worth it. Once this spring IH release madness settles down, I will be putting in another order with DMO.

Pretty close to what you have. A black harness 1.5" with stainless hardware, and a brown harness 1.5" with brass hardware. I like my holes at .75" apart, instead of 1". My weight tends to fluctuate, so that makes sizing a little more convenient/comfortable. I also like the teardrop holes, but at only .75" apart, I think the circular holes look less cramped.

I would just wear it until they aren't as apparent. It's all part of the patina.

Just sent Scott an email requesting a few custom items.
After looking through a bunch of options (FH, Red Moon, Obbi Good Label New, LeatherGoodsConnection), I think I made the right choice. It's awesome having so many options and knowing everything is custom and made to order is really cool. Getting a short "Red Moon" style wallet with coin pocket/three card slots with a built in chain ring like on the FH/WC wallet. The wallets going to be Horween natural horse butt with Horween cordovan details. Also ordered a new lanyard to go with it and a 15oz natural tan belt to go with it. Can't wait to find out if all of this is possible.
This is going to be my first proper leather wallet and can't wait to start breaking it in.
Too bad there won't be much to put into the wallet after paying for it lol.
