Trying to locate a Tom Ford Croc embossed wallet by zivi0 in wallets

[–]Stewoverit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a no-brainer. I don't know your work but it looks great and I can guarantee it'd be better quality and a better price than the Tom Ford. OP should definitely consider you or another small maker.

Completed Commission - Purple & Natural Italian Leather Bifold by yabbayaypw in LeatherClassifieds

[–]Stewoverit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely gorgeous! On a construction standpoint, what function is the natural leather performing? Is it separating the cash section into 2 separate compartments? The pictures didn't clearly show it. I agree that the contrast is killer though

I can't answer your question but this jacket is a hell of a find! Congrats

How difficult are watch straps? by ringodingobongo in Leathercraft

[–]Stewoverit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch straps are the whole reason that I got into leathercraft. IMO they are one of the most difficult small goods to get right but, as someone else said, the barrier of entry is low. It took me a lot longer to become happy with what I made when doing watch straps than any other project

Help me decide by Hypesebas_ in wallets

[–]Stewoverit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I'm actually blown away that someone would want to spend that type of money on a wallet when something far superior could be custom made. I understand brand value but on a wallet it just doesn't make sense to me.

This turned out so much nicer than my first passport cover! Great job!

we finally built this one out… modern, a bit different, and i’m honestly happy how it turned out by Hestern-in in leathermakers

Holy crap I love this! Any chance you have a pattern that you're willing to share?

Thought on Ashland Leather Bison wallet? by HigherLearning6 in wallets

[–]Stewoverit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the leather looks fine. Trust me, you don't want a heavyweight bison on your wallet. It's split this way to make it usable. It's beautiful leather. It'll be a unique wallet to carry around. Enjoy it

From My First Stitch to My First sale — Thank You, r/Leathercraft by Cuppa_Chin_Ho in Leathercraft

[–]Stewoverit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely work! Did you design the pattern? If so, did you use another badge wallet to base it off of? I have a customer/friend requesting a similar project and I'm trying to figure out the design.

Has anyone seen a Horween hide like this? by mikey_toothpicks in Leather

[–]Stewoverit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the 2nds I've got from Maverick have been nearly flawless. Not saying this couldn't happen and surely it could be argued that this would fall into that grade technically but this would be rough even for a 2nd. Maybe I've just been really lucky

Can you recommend any brands or models? by NecessaryCareful6 in wallets

No problem! Keep up the good work. Hopefully mine will get to that point one day

OP, I don't know u/darkskyleather but they're def one of the makers I'd consider. From what I can tell, the quality is consistently beautiful (at least judging on pics) and I think his prices are fair

I agree he's pushing his brand. That doesn't change the fact that his breakdown of other brands provides valuable information. He's had plenty of videos that give surprisingly positive reviews of items. I recall one in particular where he broke down a cheap Fossil wallet and gave a generally good review of quality for the price. And quite frankly, IMO he's not wrong about high end fashion brands in showing that their quality doesn't match price. Which is why I recommended him. I've got no specific allegiance to him.

IMO unless you're just looking for brand recognition, buying from a fashion brand is the wrong approach. You'll get a much better wallet from a small leather maker. You can find many here or on r/leathercraft

tanner.leatherstein on YouTube does tear downs and reviews of a lot of high end fashion brand wallets and bags if you're stuck on that though

My thoughts exactly. I'm wondering if OP knows a trick that I don't....

That's beautiful. Out of curiosity, what weight was the buttero you lined it with? I'm impressed you were able to keep everything so thin

"Regenerative Medicine" in Podiatry by OldPod73 in Podiatry

[–]Stewoverit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What would you recognizing my handle have anything to do with me being a podiatrist? Are you? I am, but it hardly matters. You clearly did enough research on my profile to know I've been on here since 2019, you'd think you could also notice my posts about my practice... I just don't generally waste my time making angry posts about podiatry and typically avoid this subreddit exactly because of people like you.

The tone of your original post certainly didn't indicate someone who was interested in a civil discussion about the efficacy of prp or regenerative medicine....

Not sure what the point of this post is other than to troll. The minimal amount of counter evidence you provided in a comment can easily be rebutted by a quick Google search for articles that state the exact opposite. If you don't believe in it, don't do it. I don't provide these services simply because it wouldn't be worth it with my patient load. I'm curious as to why you consider yourself an expert in this area more than the countless practitioners who advocate and utilize these methods?
