      My wallet has started to fall apart. The stitching has started to unravel at so many places now.
      I guess I need to learn how to make some saddle stitchings.
      Any tips and Ideas that you got would be really helpful.

      Tanner goods makes beautiful stuff, but sadly their aim is fast production. This is why leather goods made to last should be stitched by hand and not machines. If anyone needs leather repairs, or a wallet that will really last you forever, you know where to find me 🙂

        Made myself some coasters a couple of months ago. They are coming along nicely after some use and abuse.

                I wear them quite a lot mainly because they are very functional and fits all currency sizes and occupies multiple cards.  ::)

                    My key pouch from Bazaar Shangri La (Helsingborg) and Kawatako key hook.
                    I love this key pouch. If I would order it again I would have done some modifications to it. But it serves it purpose.

                      Nice patina on the key pouch, Nizzel. How long have you had it? The indigo blob down the middle is pretty sweet too 🙂

                                thanks mad! i love how the shell evolves with the light marks and shiny texture to it. jeans were having their shoot for the hwdc2 final submissions.

                                    @madmonday super nice combo! Nice to see one of my straps getting proper use. Haven't done any leatherworking in a loooong time..

                                    Which makes me want to stroll down memory lane to the first post in this thread..
                                    @Jii:

                                    Here's a wallet I made earlier this year that gets a lot of use:

                                    Here's the same wallet today 🙂 Used almost daily for over 4 years. Jeans arent that crisp either at this point but still in rotation 🙂

                                    AIAN HA-TO!

                                            what @Anesthetist said was right. it's a fair price for shell cordovan and the ageing on shell cordovan is something that i find really amazing and beautiful. to be honest i can't see myself having another wallet for the predictable future. i've currently have 2 shells. one from shiniki and one from horween, and the horween shell beats the shiniki one by miles..

                                            cheers mate!
