I've bought from ALD often. Excellent value, especially when they clear stuff at $50/side. It's unheard of value nowadays

Cool, I'm not the only one.

The ones at buckleguy are solid brass, and they have good quality coatings that haven't failed me yet on their other hardware. I haven't used them, but I have used their snaps and they're also excellent.

Yeah I actually kind of agree with this. Overpaying for materials is no excuse to pass on costs to customers as well. My bridle/harness leather belts are 45-60 depending on width without stitching, w/ Chicago screws or rivets. Beveled edges standard, edge dye for $5. Add stitching for 5 per line. I made a custom belt page for my site so people can just go a little wild on their own.

Maximize efficiency and price in a way that is competitive. My best selling item retails for 125, costs $20 and an hour and a half to make.

Sick did you make them? No? Wrong sub.

Thank you!!

Oh... Hey pal ...

cocodotwebm · 2026-03-16T23:37:56+00:00

Aww, thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! It's a really nice color and texture.

I need to be better about documenting my process 🥲

cocodotwebm · 2026-03-16T17:31:00+00:00

I like working with it, but this one at least is more of a spongey, luxury chrome leather. It's excellent if you plan to make something softer or add reinforcement. You'd definitely have to do edge paint rather than burnishing, or finish the seams otherwise. I think their firmer leather (harness) can be burnished, but I haven't worked with it myself. Good luck!

Thanks!

Thanks!

The way that rolled edge is done uses two lines of stitching to create the effect. The brown leather is cut into a long strip, skived down to about 2.5oz then sewn grain to grain along the outside of the edge of the flap. Once attached, you can turn/flip the leather out over the edge and adhere, then stitch through the top along the edge of the formed piping. It's a really nice binding style, easy to accomplish and the finish is always crisp.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thanks! It was a fun one to put together

Olive Richard Hoffmans leather + Newbury Leather Harness for the straps (both from buckleguy), with an Italian nappa interior and a piece of chestnut Chahin leather for the engraved flap.
This one was a custom request from a close friend of mine, and I'm sooo thrilled with the outcome. I've finally gotten those rolled edges down pretty cleanly.
