This just hit me, why did you not just fix the IH wallet yourself? Would have been a easy as for you. No?

[van Olzon]

the washer strap is cordovan leather … and I don't have cordovan to replace it ... as my knowledge there is just one company in the U.S. that sells ... and the price is huh ... besides I don't have the same thread
my wallet has not yet arrived at the castle (feckin' german mail), so maybe I have to fix it by myself ... but the offer to take it on the trip to japan and refurb by professionals was a lucky coincidence and a great offer to me ...

Anyone got an idea of where I can get a brass fish hook style thing to make my own lanyard? I can find plenty of places that have brass svivel snaps, but not hooks.. Considering just copping out and going for 2x snaps.

eBay seller x-kaijin-x might have what you're after, if I understand your question right.

Anybody know a decent place to buy leather in the UK for crafting purposes? You guys have inspired me to have a go!

[injunjack]

nietenhosen….how much...??

[Seul]

Backed: I would LOVE  a denim bag like that mate!..

[jimmy]

Nice bag! Little girly for me but great construction, I am a fan of single needle felled seam.

yeah, wider straps would make it more manly…and prolly more comfortable to carry around. Otherwise purdy purrfekt...

[nietenhosen]

thank you all for kind words.
yeah, right, looks a little girly with long straps, making them shorter should not be a problem.
rivets at the top of the sideseams would be cool, i think.
if i calculated the right way there is denim left for another seven or eight bags.
let's see….

[injunjack]

nietenhosen, I didn't mean shorter, I meant wider, say some 4 cm wide…

[nietenhosen]

aaah, okay, good idea!

[Giles]

I like the way that you have utilised the full width of the denim on the straps, thus retailing the selvedge detail…...
