English vs American Horsehide

The wallet on the left is front quarter English horsehide from Joseph Clayton and Sons. The one on the right is CXL Horsebutt from Horween in America.

Needle and Awl

Here’s the latest edition to my leather shop. It’s a very heavy duty needle and awl Landis 16.

All Horsehide

This bag is made from 3 great Horween horsehides. The bag and pockets are front quarter cxl. The flap lining and trim are Vermont horse front, and the straps are veg tanned horse strips.

I got a request for a 4 layer, natural veg tanned, Horween horse butt belt. I had never sewn 4 layers of horsehide (almost 1/2″) together before and had my doubts. It turned out nice, but is going to take a lot of breaking in.
