      I got a massive order yesterday from Horween; 40+ lbs of leather in a giant box.

      Since I used the entire side of Rio Latigo for my briefcase (and then some), I needed to restock my supply. So, I got more Rio and a stunning dark brown Latigo as well. I received a couple of interesting colors that I've never really seen before. Chestnut and Cognac in "Dublin" which is the waxed version of the "Essex" leather. It's fantastic looking and feels incredible.

      I'm also very well restocked on Natural Chromexcel Single Horse Fronts which has been the most popular color for wallets this past year for me. It's proving to be an extremely versatile color to work with, and my personal wallet is aging splendidly (I'll get some pics up later).

      Some things I got just for fun are Color 8 Shell Cordovan and Black Shell Cordovan for wallets and other small items, and a 9/10oz (THICK) Natural Chromexcel which will be great for belts!

      Here's all of my new leather:

      And here's the Chestnut Dublin (which is dying to be made into a duffel, a dopp kit, or something similar):

                    Ha! @Jordonf9  Where's the leather?! haha

                    The tool by the hammer is a 1lb mallet with a poly head made by Barry King.

                            Here's a custom knife case I made as a going away gift for someone at work. We got the knife and had it engraved. So badass!! I want one! It has a built-in challenge coin case 🙂

                                        Here' a little update about ZeeBee Leather:

                                        I've put some new items up in the shop! A Briefcase, Planner Covers, and a Business Card Holder! http://zeebeeleather.com/shop/

                                        I'm working on a collaboration with J.L. Lawson & Co. that will be announced later this week! Keep your eye on http://www.jllawsonco.com

                                        Also, I'm working on a Duffel Bag commission right now that's going to be an absolute stunner. It should be done in about 6 weeks, but I'm really excited about. I'll post some progress shots as I work my way through the build. It'll be made entirely of Natural Chromexcel, and will have some insane custom features.

                                            Very cool holster @seawolf. I love JL Lawson stuff. I have a keychain and of course one of their bottle openers on it.
