Really pleased with the way my new belt came out. @madmonday said once that craftsmen always make nice stuff for others but never for themselves, and I thought it was time to make myself a nice belt. This is tooled Veg-tanned leather saddle-stitched to Horween Essex in Teak with olive thread. I'm absolutely smitten.

Nice work! Be careful now that someone doesnt buy it off you

I of course royally screwed up at the end, and secured this belt forever as mine and only mine. I could never in good conscience sell it to anyone with the giant chunk I cut out by mistake. I'm always happy to make a new one for someone though
Beautiful!!
Thank you!
Simply beautiful.
Thank you very much!

Truer words have never been spoken.
This belt is gorgeous @seawolf - excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you
This belt feels great, and I absolutely love the olive thread. It's subtle yet quite striking. -
It's been a while, but there's a good reason for my absence lately. I've been designing a briefcase, and it's mostly done being stitched together. Well, the bag itself is done, but I still need to make the straps, etc. It's made with over 30 square feet of leather and 200 feet of thread. Horween Latigo leather is something really special, and this briefcase is going to be a hard-wearing beast. Here's a teaser shot.

Wow, I can't wait to see the rest.

You guys ready?
The briefcase pictured below is made of Full Grain Horween Latigo leather in Rio, and the straps are made with Horween Chromexcel in Black. The bag is completely lined with Latigo and Chromexcel. Latigo leather is both chrome and vegetable tanned, giving it the best qualities from both worlds. It's prized for its toughness and durability and has been the top choice for use in saddlery and tack or wherever soft and durable leather is needed. The entire bag is hand-stitched with Maine Thread Co. 100% waxed poly cord, and it's secured with solid brass and copper rivets which add significant strength and support to areas that endure additional stress. All of the straps are double thick Chromexcel which have been stitched together and riveted to solid brass hardware.
This original ZeeBee Leather Briefcase is built for functionality and durability. It has an internal pocket that fits a 15" laptop snugly and securely, a small pocket for pens, and two internal pockets with flaps and stud closures. The pockets are designed so that small items like thin notebooks or envelopes can be neatly stowed behind them. It's outfitted with a heavy, solid brass YKK zipper on top, and a sleek Riri zipper on the back. The back zippered pocket is fully lined and perfect for documents or small items that need to be kept safe.
