9oz vegtanned hide, copper rivets attach the battery bracket solid at; bottom, top, sides and back. Edges are saddle stitched and a passage for the vent tube. Double buckles strap it super tight to the bracket.
Conway buckle looks nice! Big ups on the new bag design too.
Thanks, the bags are really great.
Update:
New watch strap design, I offered the Nato for a good while and now it is time to offer custom fit 2pc designs.
These are made from 4.5oz leather, then saddle stitched for a lifetime of abuse.
Time to elevate your straps gentleman! They are made to size and fitted with a digital caliper to allow the strap to fit past the bar ends.

Brick red strap for a Seamaster time piece in Scotland, pictures to follow in a few weeks!
It will be cool. If he made the 1 liter size ones, hipsters will be all over them for their fixies. I saw those straps to hold wine bottles but an actual pounch for beer would be nice.
Where do I start...I picked a few of my favorite items made since my last update:
Since summer is right around the corner I thought to make myself some Roman style sandals, granted I am sure to see some mocking from these...don't care ;D
I love flip flops, but they are pretty much only good for walking. I added an ankle strap to keep the back solid to my foot. They are amazing.
Rubber soles to keep the leather dry and free of mud and such.
35mm film case for a forum member.
Case on the right is 20+ years old, owner has had it on his hip doing firefighting work for that many years, I was honored to do him a service.
Case for forum member Oliver.
Oil tanned handle that is saddle/overlap stitched.
New 15oz leather from Wickett and Craig!
It is 6mm thick ;D

Knife sheath for Mr. Sleeve's Wife
I still have to pin the handle, the person that made it did not know how? not sure.
Here is the side shot of the sheath, it is 2 layers of 10oz and 2 layers of 4.5oz, it is designed that way to keep the blade from cutting the stitching and a nice firm hold on the blade.
Brandon you do some great work yeah looks great and the pin location and size looks bad ass too. Thanks
Belt pouch you made me what 8 months ago. After seeing use EVERYDAY most of which is heavy construction related and a little back country camping as of late. P5201679 by mrsleeve, on Flickr
Thick body to hold the blade away from the stitching, then I lined the upper with pig skin and hand stitched the whole thing in a circle and fastened together with two copper rivets. Built to stand the test of time, and thanks for the awesome progression shots!
I put the snap and blade facing for right hand use(can be used left handed well too if brought up in a upward facing blade draw).
Looks outstanding, I got your other shots, I was just out of cell range till well after midnight Eastern, before I got them looking forward to seeing them in person.........

Here is a picture I forgot, it shows the pinned butt of the handle.
New Lanyards: Added a HK snap to my lanyards, they are made in the USA :D
Hey, just an idea, it'd be cool to look into making leather pull straps doors, either for race cars or a custom alternative to stock. Also, I would buy some leather "oh shit handles" if you ever made them.
