Do you guys know we changed our journal to here? http://oglavie.com/
Been updating some work and also featuring 'Daily life of OGL craftsmen' where we illustrate OGL leather work by breaking them down in pictures.
Here is one noteworthy entry that shows the making of beautiful_Freaks custom wallet.
http://oglavie.com/2013/10/12/5inch-custom-brave-wallet/
This is one part that we recently improvised on the coin compartment. It allows more space and accessibility to the coins inside with extra opening on one side which is innovatively hidden.
This is OGL original design.

Can't wait to get this beauty! Thx James!

Looks stunning, congrats Tillman.

Natural Lamb Skin Vegetable-tanned leathers.
We were invited to select some Vegetable-Tanned Lamb Skin few months ago and we are very excited to made some prototypes out of it.
Lamb Skin veg-tanned are uncommon. The reason is because leather process by vegetable-tanning is normally used for tooling (carving) purpose or making crafts that needs a form. Thus, thicker leather is always preferred for vegetable-tanned.
Lamb Skin known for its softness, used commonly on leather garments, is not a usual hide for vegetable-tanning because it is not as thick to start off with.
However, even as said, there are still need for these uncommon leather (I wouldn't say rare)Anyway, here are the prototypes,
Inspired by the pistol holder of 1950s police officers.
This is the first time I am showing this additional feature in Obbi Good Label's leather crafting on the coin compartment.
An excess opening that further assist you to reach to your coins easily.
We have seen many leathercrafts with really good and attractive designs, however, we rarely see serious thoughts put into the functionality or improvising on the leather products for the users who are the key to determine the basics of the product.
This additional feature on the coin compartment will be one of the identification of all OGL products from now on. So that when you see this feature you will know it is made by us.

Thanks for the message.
On the wallet, we used size 20, polyester thread for this wallet. From what I see, it might be a little difficult to sew back by yourself, but it can be done.
The difficult part is the accessibility of maneuvering the needle inside.
What I can advise if you wanna DIY, is using a small and shorter needle for this job. -
