    I used to work with international luxury brand called Brioni. The leather they used on wallets was calf skin. Calf skin is soft and strong. Plus they make deer leather for shoes and jackets which is soft and stretchy. Just by working with them I got to identify cheap leather just by the color tone.

I've been really tryna teach myself about different fabrics, as I'm still new to this and it is overwhelming!

      Of course! Anything that might help somebody at home getting their start. Anything related to small techniques related to applying adhesives, tips on edge painting, discuss different kinds of threading to use, tips on professional looking skiving, or any other tricks of the trade that beginners should be conscious of while trying to create a quality item for the first time.I really don’t know because I am brand new to this. But I’m the type of person that likes to pick up the finer details of quality work from professionals who have a lot of experience. I think a lot of your viewership would feel more confident in their work if they knew they learned these tips and techniques from knowledgeable experienced sources like Rose Anvil.
      I really appreciate all of the videos you have where you verbally inform your audience of what you’re doing as opposed to many of the silent leather work videos you see on UA-cam.

    your explanation between quality and price in this video reminded me of the video carl murawski’s video “why anyone would spend over 1k on a pair of boots.”
    the reason being, is that carl brought up the diminishing return one will see after a certain price point in regards to general fit/function/performance.
    it would be cool to see your take on this with your trade knowledge.

    Growing up in the 1970's we always had some dread about getting new shoes because your feet would blister until they broke in. Even into the 1990's many dress shoes were similar. Today, shoes are soft in the store. What changed? Is it different leather or is it a treatment? Was it simply "firm" vs "medium"?

    Bro I think you should review Popov leather wallet. They have some really good ones and the company is based in Canada.

    I'd love to learn more about leathers used in nicer dress shoes like Alden, Church's etc. Most of all I'm curious about what it is that you're paying for when it comes to top notch materials like shell cordovan leather? Is it a certain type of animal or certain part of the hide? Why the price tags upwards of $1000?

    I wanna start making my own leather guitar straps, but what kind of leather would I need? 8-9 Oz? medium or firm? It needs to be soft and comfortable on your shoulder but also needs to hold the weight of a 10lb guitar.

      I use Old Belts from thrift shops or any place, for guitar straps, but use your imagination, it is good to recondition sad' looking leather that would be otherwise thrown away.

      😂 Is that a good thing? Some people don't like cotton candy.
