Hello! I'm active over on reddit (/r/goodyearwelt, /r/rawdenim, /r/malefashionadvice) but figured I would start posting here too. You can never talk about denim, footwear or anything related to leather enough. I like posting about stuff I've made to receive feedback/criticism so I can improve so that will be mostly what I do. I started leatherworking almost two years ago. Everything I do is made by hand with quality and unique leathers. I really like working with Shell Cordovan and have recently started getting into some more exotic leathers (American Alligator). I pierce each hole individually with a razor sharp awl and stitch up each wallet with two needles and some waxed thread. This is my side hobby/business but I really enjoy it. It provides me a nice creative outlet to offset my day job. If you want to check out some of my stuff that I make and sell, feel free to do so on my website. Otherwise my remaining posts will be about stuff I've worked on recently. |

Nice to have another craftsman here - we've got quite a few talented fellas, so it's nice to have you aboard! Scott |

Thanks, Scott! It'll be two years that I've been doing this as of April 1st and I still love doing it as much as when I first started. Luckily my wife puts up with me spending a lot of my evenings getting caught up on orders. Weird about the website... it works for me so not sure what is up with that.

I thought it might be my corp SSL connection, but no joy. Somethin's up...let me see if I can figure out what! Oddly, it won't load on my iPhone either. More coffee time... |

Something was going weird with the DNS on my website. Should be fixed now! |

I made this for a customer in Singapore. This is his third shell cordovan wallet from me. This is trying out something I've never done before and overall, I'm very pleased with the final product. Made fully from Horween Natural Shell Cordovan, 3 slots, 2 hidden slots, and an expandable coin pouch. Nice work. The coin pocket came out very well. |

@duesis, your work looks good. You ever make a trucker wallet? Thanks! Yes I have. This was the most recent one I made which was black Shell Cordovan exterior and Russet Harness interior.    |

Testing out some new Italian Shell Cordovan (Rocado SRL). Very similar to Horween and great depth of color to it too.  Horween Natural Chromexcel Horsehide Interior.  Testing out a new minimal two piece watch design. This one is in Horween #8 Shell Cordovan.  Also received a small shipment of some very rare Horween Ravello Shell Cordovan.  |

Guarded Goods/ deusis is on Massdrop, offering shell cordovan watch straps. I just got in on the Shinki Emerald and the Horween Color #8. Highly recommend him for high quality leather goods. He's a mod on r/goodyearwelt and is very quick to respond to any questions, or any makeups you're considering. |

He looks to make some great looking stuff. Everything I've seen so far from his shop has been pretty damn nice. Really looking forward to my watch straps, and waiting for him to do another GMTO on r/goodyearwelt for wallets. Regret sitting out his last one. |

I had Scott, of Mourn don't organize, make me a similar wallet in horsehide for $70 bucks shipped, for comparison, but both guys are talented in leather craft. dontmournorganize.wordpress.com/ |
