X-Post for the guys who don't follow the RRY3 thread. Wear day 1

49 wear days so far.

@Jcaz6996

70 days of wear since the beginning of June. I also think it benefits the shirt to leave it untreated for as long as possible.

Dear members of this forum!

I have been running a small leather workshop for some time and think it is about time to show a little more of "me". Having been a member here for a year and a half now (before that I read along for a few years without registering), I know that there is a friendly, open atmosphere of mutual support and that there is also a general interest in handmade leather goods.

I hope that this thread will also create a small space for feedback, where I can grow and continue to improve. Social media like Instagram is all well and good, but unfortunately such platforms ultimately do not really offer much for this purpose.

So, feel free to get involved, write me a message if a product arouses particular interest (pretty much everything is for sale, otherwise I will have space problems very soon) and if you like, you can just take a look

I would like to start with some of my Tote Bags in size Large:

For the (rugged) Ladies I made a size Small, too:

Hey, made it to wear my shirt every day during the last 4 weeks for the first time since the start of RRY3

Here is mine again. After 6 months and 95 wear days...

@seawolf Thanks a lot for the tips! At the moment I'm still quite wary of making leather clothing purely by hand, but it sounds like it's doable. I'll probably start with a leather vest, that seems to be the most doable.
Thank you also for the links to your work, I'll look at it with great interest

@Daniel-San Yes, I'm from northern Germany (and a very settled person), you'll probably notice it from my strange English now and then
Viele Grüße nach Bremen and thanks for the praise!

@seawolf "Picky" was the expression I was looking for
Understand, but your thread is great It’s a pity that you can’t really look at many of your pictures anymore, but I saw the beautiful jacket you sewed entirely by hand. I have similar plans for a vest that I wanted to make from natural horse leather and later maybe a leather shirt... If I may ask, how did you initially go about your hand-sewn type 3 jacket? Are there any patterns for this out there that I can use as a guide, or would you have any other advice?

@seawolf I've also been looking around for leatherworkers here before and came across your thread with your work. Aren't you posting so much of it here anymore?
Unfortunately... or fortunately, I'm extremely pedantic/precise when it comes to things like stitching

@flannel-slut Thank you! When I made my first satchel a while ago, the many hours of sewing were a huge challenge. Now I'm happy when I can sew for a long time at a time during a project. Meditation...

Thanks a lot! @Denman-John

@tody @endo Thank you both!

@denim-dawg Thank you mate! The arms develop through leathercrafting at the workbench...

@Mister_Brue Thank you for your detailed feedback, really great, I like that You're not wrong about your preferences and improvements and I already have a few ideas in mind about what I would like to change or improve on the next one (especially the shoulder strap).
I also think that I won't be able to break the satchel and if something does happen, it would be very easy to repair. The leather thickness and quality is around 2.5 mm, a good mix of "lasts a lifetime" but not too heavy.

@Mister_Brue There's not even any gasoline left in the lighter But I still vape to this day...
