  • Choosing leather for your projects has always been the most important question that we get in our shop and why that specific leather.
    In this video, we made an easily digestible leather guideline when you find yourself in a situation where the leathers are just not 'leathering' and you need some guidance. As a beginner, the question of 'what leather to use?' is one of the most difficult decisions when starting a leather piece. Whether big or small, we will go over the basics on choosing the correct type of leather!
    Additionally, we've included a basic guideline on how to make your pieces resistant to the elements and help extend the life of your items.
    We can't wait to see what you'll make!

    Not only great information, but you made it fun as well. I would rather see a more uncut honestly produced video like this than a heavily edited sterile video free of even the smallest of mistakes. Great stuff, keep the great content coming our way.

    Comment. ...... did i win yet? I love your veg tan. The "oddysee veg tan" is great too. Also the heritage is alright for "chem tanned leather" , since its also veg tanned. I made a phone holster with the whiskey one yesterday. Holds its shape fine. Cheers from Montreal.

      @lonsdaleleather  4 месяца назад +1

      @tedblackburn8679 You got a couple more weeks until you're announced the winner (maybe)! It's awesome that it's a combo! It's easier to burnish and bevel than chrome, which is awesome. So glad you like it! Tag us on Instagram if you post a photo of the finished product! We'd love to see it 🤩

    Searching for Italian leather that smells like inside of a ferrari, bentley or a high end luxury car. My goal is all about the luxurious smell the leather gives off. Want to use it to make my home and car smell like inside a ferrari or a leather shop. Someday to make my furniture out of that one piece of outstanding italian leather. Thanks!!!

      We know exactly what you mean! The italian leather and all the leather we have, in fact, definitely gives you that sense of luxury from just its smell alone. You'll have a luxury smelling car/house in no time!
