@rabbit999:

some ideas
1. (practical) paraffin coated 634-XHS
2. (tough and unchanging) superblack, paraffin coated 634-XHS
3. (crazy warm winter/ski jeans) paraffin coated, flannel lined 634-XHS
4. (crazy tough) paraffin coated, double knee XHS 634
5. (summer rain XHS) paraffin coated, extra loose weave for more breathability (would be great for really hot/humid countries that have wet and dry seasons.
6. (full armour combo) paraffin coated, reenforced at hemmed area with a way to 'lock' or 'button' into shoes (also waterproofed) which come with the jeans. it would be a set up to almost fully water proof the jeans and shoes connection area.
I like fades and hot weather so no. 1. and no. 6. would be my favs.

I'd like to see motorcycle jeans with pockets for armour and either leather or kevlar lining, or kevlar denim mix.

@mr.dead:

Need some help deciding on what wallet to invest in. First step into high quality leather wallets/accessories but I wanna start off on the right foot. In actuality, I'm looking for three or four leather accessories in the next little while. First on the list is definitely a short wallet (around 4.5-5" x 4") and a nice simple leather rein. Probably going to stick with a natural/naked leather. I saw this short Red Moon wallet on ebay and thought it looked promising, I know Red Moon is a highly regarded company but also fairly costly. I also really dig that TFH leather chain. I also really dig the Wild Child wallet on SE but wish it had an ID slot or coin pocket.
Anyway, short of picking up a Red Moon, WC, or TFH short wallet, I'm interested in getting one custom ordered from a smaller company. I've read good things about Scott Willis, LeatherGoodConnection, & The Blackacre but would like to know if there are any options I should consider. I'll most likely be buying a new belt with the wallet & rein. From what I've seen, it seems like Scott Willis does a pretty fantastic job with all three.

do you know how to treat the raw leather?
