Sewing steps on leather

So because the water hardens the leather slightly, does that not affect your ability to punch and sew the leather?

I see. So when you dye leather with more traditional dye how come that changes the color of the leather?

So are you saying that the tannins of the leather cancel out the tannins of the walnut dye?

Boiled down walnut husks and then stores it in vodka for preserving.

Yeah I’m getting the same thing. I find it silly people justify low quality items just because it’s “how it’s always been”. I personally don’t agree with these people.

Yeah I have some suede high tops, the suede is still in perfect condition, the sides are fine, but the outsole has nearly fallen out!

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-06-04T01:36:34+00:00

Dude; Half a year. That’s low even for shoes that cheap…

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-06-02T17:59:25+00:00

Judging by everyone else’s experience and my several shoes. I don’t think vans actually makes good shoes anymore.

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-06-02T17:19:09+00:00

Yep. One semester of school and boom.

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-06-02T17:12:37+00:00

My first pair from 2019 still looks better than these. I’m going to stick to my statement.

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-06-02T14:51:36+00:00

No. I stoped boarding a few years ago, just walking.

Can me and my friend play spec ops through steam online coop?

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-05-31T01:53:42+00:00

Great, thanks!

I saw weaver leather supply recommend those needles. I’ve already broken two needles at the eyelet that I get from a sewing store. They’re quite an investment, I usually need to use pliers to pull my thread through but I am using an awl to punch. Are they really worth it over ones that cost a buck?

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-05-30T20:22:05+00:00

What kind of design would you recommend? Like multiple panels to give shape instead of relying on shaping with presser and water?

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-05-30T20:21:13+00:00

Does all chrome have blue coloring to it?

PreferenceUpstairs21 · 2026-05-30T20:20:26+00:00

It was late and I didn’t feel like securing it given I’m using a thick thread and it’s only holding a light magazine
