awesome belt, but really disappointed you didn't model it for us Chuck lol
Great video, beautiful project, thanks Chuck! That black cherry Frontier pullup is one of my very favorite leathers. The color, weight, and feel are stunning. It is an oily tannage though, so a couple of notes for those who haven't worked with it before (which I learned the hard way): (1) Neither glue nor contact cement will not hold it for the long term, you will absolutely need to sew it to any sort of lining you want to use, and (2) It has enough oil in it that if you sew it to a piece of veg tan, the oil will seep into the veg tan over the course of a couple of days. This will cause some discoloration in the veg tan which will probably be visible if you are dying it a light color or leaving it natural. That said, I highly recommend getting a sample, it is a beautiful material.
Nice to have the safety tips in the video 🎉
Thanks for the pattern and video

Can you do a video on fatty spew, and how to prevent them? I’m using a leather sheen (or resolene) coat, following by a wax top coat…

I love this so much. You talked a lot about what they do in period and historical accuracy, but didn't actually specify what period you were talking about? I was wondering if you had any sources that you could share with us for further reading and picture references.
I really like the details on this project and it really makes me want to remake mine out of leather. I made one ages ago out of marine leather from Joann Fabrics. It's black on one side and brown on the other so it's reversible. It's very useful and a nice statement piece, but boy does it get sweaty haha! Chuck, I think you'd look great in it!
I thought I heard him reference the Elizabethan period. I could be wrong though.
He said Elizabethton period at the beginning of the video
Hi Bree! If you check out 0:55, there are a lot of theories on this but the most common was entering into the Elizabethan period. Hope this helps!
