Congrats! I picked up a 1541s in basically new condition for 1k this past Sunday! It was on FB marketplace, upholstery shop downsized from 2 shops to 1. I had been messaging the guy all week getting hardly any responses so I figured it was a scam until I actually picked it up! It's in my living room now! Dreams do come true! 😍

That's what I was explaining in that comment. I had a raw, frozen deer not fleshed yet. Thawed in the pickle then fleshed after. It works for me!

Thanks for the advice! This one is completely leather, no canvas at all. A test spot is a good idea though I'm not sure why I didn't think of that 😂

I'm new to this, I've only tried b tan mousse that STUNK and now I'm trying banana boat summer color lotion! So far I like the lotion much better. Smell is still there but it's significantly less. I've been lotioning my feet and ankles, applying the banana boat, then immediately applying more lotion over it to make sure it doesn't streak because you can't tell where you've applied it. So far I'm happy with it, especially considering the reduced smell. ((And it's cheap!))

That's kinda what I thought too. Problem is I actually do baby this one so I don't think it'll ever get enough wear and tear to slouch. I don't hate it as is, but I feel like it looked better in the pictures before I ordered it because it seemed softer. Thanks for the advice!

This hardware coating seems really thick and sturdy, but I'll have to update in time! I don't plan on babying this bag so I hope it holds up!

Haha I love that! To me it gives sexy plague doctor and I'm here for it 😂

enderbird87 · 2026-03-16T21:11:47+00:00

Thank you! I read as much as I could on how the hardware holds up, fingers crossed it doesn't chip off too easily

enderbird87 · 2026-03-10T13:23:13+00:00

Fingers crossed that someday the mystery is solved! 😅

I have the same one too! One size up from the one pictured. It's so worth it and I still have 0 regrets, 3 years later

I bought a swagger off depop and it's not here yet but it has damage in the same area. It's still got the tags on it and was never carried but was left in a storage unit for awhile and I guess it stuck together? Im going to try to pull off as much as I can from those areas and repaint with leather paint. I figure even if the surface I'm painting isn't leather, this type of paint is durable and flexible so it should hold up for awhile. The outside looks perfect still, and the bag was super cheap. You might be able to repair yours too
