V Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 As you all know I have started to make my one of a kind straps with the metta catharina leather i have sourced. Now already in Aarons hands is a Marlboro leather strap. My new projects are the following: 1. BLACK calvin klein leather strap from a italian leather/made in italy wallet i bought. The hunt for the perfect BLACK leather was very very difficult because it had to be very soft / semi-matte and with a beautiful texture (and of course italian leather). This CK wallet had it all. 2. I was trying to find the most similar colour leather to the PAV98 strap 'fitch' has in his black luv I managed to find a SERGIO TACCHINI wallet with very similar colour and italian leather/made in italy again. Photos of the wallets ripped apart and ready to shipping to AARON From the leather of the wallets I (aaron basically) may be able to make more than 1 strap (probably 2 from the black) If you are interested reply here and we'll see what we can do. Old members and basically friends have priority of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willith Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 What lengths are we looking at? And I have to ask $? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 What lengths are we looking at? And I have to ask $? Custom lengths of course.. You can ask from Aaron custom size. $? 40$ to Aaron for his work and according to the straps dividing the cost of the wallet by 2 or 3. I guess final cost won't be more than 90-100$ for the strap.

Willith Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 What backing will he use or will it be the leather folded over on itself? (Sorry for all the questions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 What backing will he use or will it be the leather folded over on itself? (Sorry for all the questions) After my request he is using black car upholstery leather which is also waterproof. I think it is basically better than the leather itself folded..

Watchmeister Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Oops, I missed this one. Looks like a great project. That's okay though. I will pick up Veni's when he gets tired of it. That's how I got my MF 1942. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
