Hi, i was very lazy to post it previously, becouse i don't like how it looks now:
1st - leather is ugly, i think you can't see it in pics, but it's true...
2nd - this model as to me looks-a-like smthg, i don't like it. Client go far and far away from my first sketch (it was assymetrical drape high neck leather jacket, now it looks like damir+ann)

But, as usual, all seams is wax coated, to make it water-resistant.
unfortiantly, i can't make pics on client, he living far away from me (i'm from Yekaterinburg, Russia, he's from Boston, USA) we've never met with him, but for some strange reason he've ordered leather jacket from me.

And by the way, i haven't make bag as someone style, first of all, i'm a designer, but not sewing-machine...

oh, yeah, i'm selling bag now, only to a good person

^That new jacket looks great. How do you cut, old and sew the leather? Is is a difficult material to work with if you do it all by hand?

[TRSltd]

Um... you're wrong, it's pretty easy leather to work with
cut? by a scissors...
what is old? my english is not good enought
sewing machine help me) It's eleven hours work jacket, the only problem is leather a lil' bit aquous, watery you know... machine go very-very slowly on this leather, it was pretty annoying.

Well I can't be wrong about that since I asked a question, rather than made an assertion, but thanks for the info.

I really meant mold, not old. Anyway, I wanted to get some insight into the process. Thanks.

Well hello everybody again

since my last visit i've got five more leather jackets, but it's not so important

I've just purchased this leather, what do you think guys? jacker or bag?

[dolochov]

I'd say a bag. a jacket fully made out of that leather would look strange - though it could look cool in combination with other leather or textiles

yikes, dinosaur stylz

id refrain from doing either my friend.

C'est Fini. You got a short shelf life here, unless you shape up quickly - either you produce constructive criticism or I will ban you. I don't say this twice. And believe me when I say this, anarchist comments have no effect on me.

[TRSltd]

well i wanted to make this leather in combination with a regular, make smthg like this, but much more beated up

[asho]

is it stamped or natural?

if stamped c'est fini has a point. otherwise do it justice, it was probably expensive, and make some sort of one piece thing which emphasises the texture and pattern rather than being ostentatious.
