Hello I hope that you guys wont laugh at my question. I just received my new shipment of leather from A&A Crack & sons and this is the second time that i have bought leather. I now that leather has marks and comes from a live animal and cant be perfect as is is not a man made material but this leather has some marks like it was wet from wather and than dried out and now is cracked. Is this normal or should i file a complaint to the seller? The black leather is Horween chromexel, brown is from Tempesti tanery and is just perfect, ginger color is from Saint Crispin and also has damege marks.

Hello. This is my first first try at a wach strap. This is what i got done tonight. More pictures to come.

Here are a couple of ppicture of my third project/wallet.

Ok i need some help because i am not sure if i am making a mistake or is it just because of the diferent materials of the thread. I have been experimenting last night with diferent threads. The leather that i have used is baby calf, needles are John James 3, pricking irons are Crimson tools 5spi and 10spi. The thing that is most fascinating to me is that all of the threds are declared 0,45 but they are very diferent in thicknes. These 6 lines are all Wuta ROUND waxed thread (polyester). I noticed that if i dont aditionaly wax them the stiching result is a bit better. The second black thread was waxed aditionaly. First from the top is Wuta polyester 0,45, second is Fung button linean thread, third and fourth are 832 Fil au chinois. In my experiance i had the best results and fealing when stiching with Fung linen thread. I liked very much the Chinois 832 because it was the thines but it fellt wery fragile. I had a fealing like it will snap in my hand in every second. My question is how can a thread afect so much the end result when you are using the same technic every time? And a couple pictures from the back side.

I finshed my first wallet end of december. My second wallet was finished two days ago Card holder was finished this morning. Wallets are made from baby calf skin and the card holder is from goat skin. Thred is 0,45 WUTA polyester.
