Hey, I just got this belt from my brother and he told me it's leather. Is there a way to clean these stains off, and does anyone know what specific type of leather this is?

Thinking of starting to sell leather items. Think the quality is good enough?

While it has been a topic before, let's bring it up again. It is a year to the day since I placed an order with 80 Proof, and it has been crickets. I have commented on videos daily, sent emails, and submitted forms, and nothing. I do not understand how we are saying 8+ week lead times, and it is a whole YEAR, and we post daily videos and can't respond. I can't even do a chargeback, and these were supposed to be client gifts last year for Christmas.

Just wanted to share an update with this nice community. I asked for tips on how to restore some loafers I abused for a while, and based on those I restored them.

Super happy! Thanks a lot!

Recently finished this opposite pair of cardholders.

Made from Badalassi Carlo's Wax in Cognac, and MPG's Graffiti in Forest.

Stitched with Oka factory's MBT thread in brown.

So I purchased this jacket on Facebook marketplace for 5 dollars knowing it was in bad condition. I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to potentially restore it or if it’s permanently ruined. All advice and input is welcome and appreciated

How should I work with Cordovan to avoid staining it during production? I was very careful, but despite that, there are still faint marks from Tokonol / leather glue visible on it. Do you have any way of removing this, or any tips on how to carry out this sort of work?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hello everyone!

I am fairly new to leather crafting, and am currently trying to recreate a wallet as a Christmas gift. The wallet itself is fairly odd so I'm here to seek advice for a few things. From what I can tell it's two pouches with a space in between and an extra flap for the ID.

I am struggling with how to create a template to make something similar and was hoping y'all might be able to point me in the right direction.

Unfortunately I don't have physical access to the wallet, and am kind of reliant on these photos.

Any help would be fantastic, thanks
