really liking the wallet I got secondhand here on the forums…
If I was going to reattach some of the thread, what sort of thread do I need? I did message you on Facebook and you said it needed to go back to you guys....but thats too $$$ for me to try first.
its the wallet in this thread:
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. -
OGL Duck fabric, heavy-weight 16oz and its aging.

I was caught by surprise when I came across this picture the other day.
A long wallet made years ago when I was in France. For a friend, the wallet is a denim inlay style.
Using raw denim fabric, vegetable-tanned natural leathers, hand-stitched from my garage workshop.
Thank you very much for using, Eric.

I can understand that many still do not understand the properties of vegetable-tanned leathers. They are often surprised by the darkening from pure creamy white, natural state.
Here is another good one for you – A used 9981 Olive Messenger Bag as compare to the new one.
Yes, the darkening of the natural leather is ‘severe’. I applied Huberd’s oil twice in my 4 months of usage. I hope I have captured the softness of the leather correctly. You can click on the pics and enlarge them.
The back is stain by the raw denim I wear most of the time. The ‘flesh’ of the leather has smoothen out without the hairy initial feel. Leather strap is soften to flexible and real easy on shoulder.Using it daily to work, commuting in motorcycle, the bag went through some heavy downpour, tropical humid sunlight with heavy storage of files, EDC, sunglasses, MP3 …etc. The duck canvas faded faster than I expected. with horizontal fading vividly showing up.
With the tested and some improvements, this bag is ready to go.

When we started the 9981 bag series, we uses heavy duck canvas as the man body and thick vegetable-tanned leathers as reinforcement and flaps.
Some asked why not full leather? Well, we wanna keep it to custom, as it will provide more variations and styles,So, here is one that is made of black leathers.
