        I'm actually not really setup for watch bands at the moment. The only leather I have right now that would be thin enough to work with is some Color 8 Horse hide, and I've had a really hard time sourcing watch band hardware. Those buckles are not as easy to find as you might think!

          I would just require the leather pieces, not new hardware. I will reuse the ones on it. If you happen to find some thinner leather please let me know. I def want it to be natural/tan color tho

            Depending on size, I've actually had really good luck picking up buckles on eBay.  Also, if you dig around the various Panerai forums, they're pretty good for sources on things.  Those guys love multiple straps.

                            Thanks gents! I appreciate the comments 🙂

                            I'll post up some pics of the interior soon. The wallet I posted pics of yesterday that you guys saw came out wrong, and I didn't notice until I finished it. The pattern that I used was one that I designed for 4-5oz leather, and the leather I used for this wallet is 2-3oz, so the flap came out too long. I made the whole thing over and I'll be stitching it up this morning. I had to rework the pattern to get it right for the correct leather. Also, I won't be using that heavy (4-5oz) leather again for a wallet.

                            Some details about the wallet: It's made with the older Wabash fabric (my personal favorite). I've been using a wallet cut from that pattern for about 6 months and had some lessons learned as well that I incorporated into the design of this new wallet. The leather used is Horween Front Quarter Horse in Color 8. It's stunning stuff.  The prototype model I made earlier this year was made with linen thread which proved to be inferior with leather this thin so I opted for a 100% polyester thread instead.
