I got some vintage buckles off ebay. I had some veg tanned horsehide sitting at home. So I blended the two together and came up with these. Please let me know how I did? It is my first ever time doing this, and I need practice. I was trying emulating the Sugar Cane Buzz Rickson natural belts...
Update... I just removed the whole thing as I saw the edges, especially at letters, was already lifting away slightly. I am going to just paint something else in place like an 8th patch instead. I think that design looks cooler anyway :-)
Hi All,
I got a goat A-2 off ebay last month. It has a left shoulder AAF decal that looks too new, almost too gimicky due to how fresh it looks. In a way I wouldn't mind removing it entirely, but before I do, I'd like to see what it would look like worn.
Has anyone got tips on making these...
Can you please tell the technique? Is it a case of just applying dye nearest the fabric, and it migrates into the leather or something else? I am sure a lot of us would like to know :-) thanks!
From the looks of it, the guy is done. Legal advice? By whom, Lenny "The Screw" Esquire?? Face it, the guy scrammed with a lot of cash that wasnt worth hiding with. What is he going to do once its dried up and he needs money again?
Hi,
After seeing so many of the vintage A2 jackets linings, I see many have collar snaps on the lining side, covered in the same material as the lining. How is this done? Are manufacturers gluing material over the snap head before installing them, or is lining put over them and somehow snugged...
