Postal Bag for Sale
I’ve put a leather postal bag for sale. Click through to see photos and details on how to order.
Light Tote
The Bulletproof Tote is too heavy for my wife, so I got some lighter-weight raw leather and made this one. The leather is half the thickness of what I had previously been using. I also incorporated the pre-fabricated handles and pocket that I got from Tokyu Hands in Osaka. The strap attachments looked weak, so [...]

A couple of iPhone pics I took while I was making the tote bag. Here’s the body of the bag cutout and the first handle rivetted on. Here’s both handles on, and getting ready to start sewing on that baseplate. The photos make it look small, but that cutting board is big. A 15 inch [...]
Bulletproof Tote

You should buy these. I think they’ll look awesome with your denim. http://www.blackbirdballard.com/Esquivel_Blackbird_Boot_11035.html They’re beyond me. Here are some similar options. http://www.chukai.ne.jp/~motos/leather&silver/index2.html http://www.e-workers.net/pc/pc_moto/1.htm
Sugarcane Raw Leather Garrison Belt
I’ve only worn this belt for a few days, but I got rained on, so it’s already quite stained.
