As another commenter stated, I grabbed one of your wallets also a couple years back. Found out about Open Sea from Best Damn EDC…. Best wallet I have ever purchased and if it ever did fail (doubt it will), I’d be back for round 2! I get a lot of compliments on it also. Great stuff, great work and great videos! I do some leather craft outside of my woodworking, but nothing at your level, lol. Cheers from Florida and thanks for producing a solid quality product!
Hell yeah, didn’t know you were over on UA-cam. Been rocking my Das Offene Meer Houbei for roughly 5 years now and no wallet has come close to replacing it. Best of luck to you!
Great job Sir and I applaud your eye sight. I would not be able to lay down any straight stitches without a brighter light right above the sewing needle.
Awesome! Been working up the courage to try and make a weekender bag myself! Love these types of videos. You wouldn't happen to have a video where you make bags with a liner would you? Liked and subscribed!
I love watching how you work, and the products you create. For a bag like this, which you have clearly put a lot of time into getting the production process dialed in, how many hours of labor is in each one? Do you make them in batches and sell what you have on hand, or do you make each one only when there's an order for it?
Awesome work man, well done! Every time I make something similar I argue with myself if I should add lining, piping & binding or not. It makes a difference, but it also pretty much doubles the work, and then good luck finding someone to pay for my time. People just don't understand how long those things take if you want them made properly. In the end I only do it if the bag is for me or someone I love :)
Hey sir, thanks for the cool video. Can I ask what thread and needle do you use for your machine ? Where do u recommend getting great quality hardware other than buckle guy? Thanks !
Sorry for the simple question, but I’ve been marking my cutout lines with an awl and it’s very difficult to see with my sketchy eyesight. What is the skinny pen/marker you’re using to mark your layout lines. It seems very visible, compared to what I’m doing and it looked like you were able to erase some of those lines with no residue. Ty in advance.

Love to hear that!
Top shelf brother! Tremendous craft and excellent production. Will definitely follow.
Much appreciated!
That was very interesting to watch. A great craftsman.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Craftsman doing their work is always a pleasure to watch. Kudos, you make excellent leather goods.
Thank you very much!
Great job Sir and I applaud your eye sight. I would not be able to lay down any straight stitches without a brighter light right above the sewing needle.
Haha I need a light
This feels so much more authentic than other channels. Love your craft man keep it up.
What a genuine compliment. Thank you!
So cool watching you work! Is there a way that I can get that pattern?
I’ll digitize it soon
Is there any chance you might adapt this duffel into a smaller briefcase? Beautiful bag.
Yes I have that bag already:)
Very nice bag! What is your cutting surface? Can’t find exactly what it is and if its better than self-healing mats. Thanks!
Japanese cutting mats from Rocky Mountain leather supply
Loved going to Italy and to the leather market. But I love seeing how it’s made more. I wish I had the skill to do this. Amazing work. I want one.
Thank you! If you’d like to order it’s on our website:)
Gorgeous bag.
Thank you:)?
Awesome! Been working up the courage to try and make a weekender bag myself! Love these types of videos. You wouldn't happen to have a video where you make bags with a liner would you? Liked and subscribed!
Not yet but I would definitely been down to do a liner tutorial
saw your stuff on reddit the other day and admired it.
you do excellent work. thank you for sharing your process video!
Much appreciated!
Very nice. Obvious you really know your stuff. Awesome bag.
I try my best! Thank you
incredible 👏 👏 👏
Thank you!
Off topic, but I can't quite figure out what's written on the right hand's fingers...
ARETE. Term from stoicism :)
@@Opensealeather Thank you for replying)
Absolutely beautiful bag. 💼
Thank you! 🤗
Love to see great American craftsmanship.

This one takes about 6 hours. These are made to order
Beautiful piece
Thank you very much!
Great video Mike! They are very therapeutical.
Glad you like them!

Speaking the hard truth. This one will probably end up being mine
Love the sound of the leather, sewing machine, blade and the end product
Thank you!
Beautiful work ! What brand double sided tape are you using ?
Just good old Tandy!
Will this be available on the website or is this a one and done because I’m interested.
This can be custom ordered. We can discuss leather and pricing options via email sales@osleather.com
Very nice job! I’m curious, what is the clear cutting mat on your bench made of?
They are Japanese cutting mats from Rocky Mountain leather supply. Not sure the material but it’s firm but doesn’t damage knives or pricking irons
beautiful work and beautiful bag, but I probably cost more in time, supplies(leather) than if you bought a similiar bag already made ?
I guess that depends on how much you think your time is worth. This bag sells for $999 minus $300 in materials means I made $100/hr.
You can already tell its gonna age beautifully ❤
❤️
Fantastic video! This has all the right stuff to go viral. ASMR was a great choice. Keep it up bro.
Thank you!
Loving these videos man! Got me wanting to start really filming the craft again. Keep up the awesome work!
You should!
My mans surgical with that skiving knife.
Do what I can
Fine looking bag sir.
👍
Thank you!
Love the product, love the focus. What leather did you use (weight specifically, but tannery if you didn't mind).
This is 4 and 6oz Horween Dublin in English Tan sourced from Tannery Row
Hey sir, thanks for the cool video. Can I ask what thread and needle do you use for your machine ? Where do u recommend getting great quality hardware other than buckle guy? Thanks !
I use Tex 70 and 90 dunmore 66 bonded nylon with a 16 needle. Honestly I haven’t used high quality hardware from anywhere but Buckleguy:/
I'm a proud owner of one of your wallets. I can only imagine how great this weekender will be 🤘🏻

You sir are a master craftsman.
Aw thank you!
I know he’s traced the cut lines well, but damn…the way he free-hands those very long cuts without a straight edge is amazing!
Thanks! The Japanese leather knife is an amazing tool with some practice
@@Opensealeather , agreed. But it still takes a steady arm.
beautiful!
Thank you!
Top notch nice work bro😊
Thank you:)
와~ 가방 만드시는 모습이 너무 멋져요😊
Thank you!
I already see how this is going ❤❤❤
Any chance you have plans to share a template for this one?
I think I might publish one:) I’ll announce on future videos if I do
Epic work
🙏
Wooow great video
Thanks so much!
I just came here to check out the guys tattoos. They are good.
Aw thank you!
Most people will see a bag. I see a whole side of leather. You definitely get what you pay for. Great craftsmanship.
Exactly!!
I’ve never used my Japanese knife backwards but whatever works, right?
I use it both ways. Normal for curves and reverse for straight lines:)
Excellent work, but that's got to be one expensive bag.
You’re not wrong haha
@@Opensealeather You get what you pay for...no doubt your work is worth it.
Сам занимаюсь кожей и тоже дорожные сумки шью, отличная работа друг.
Thank you!
Man I wish I had a sewing machine.......lol
Haha it can be a game changer
Hello hello! It’s been a while…just getting back into it after almost 2 year layoff, bad, bad back injury.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Hope you’re healing up
@@Opensealeather yup, better, been rehabbing, strengthening and riding and just started swinging ( half swings) a golf club. First time in 2 years.
@@tariqkamil7853 crazy! I’m so sorry:/
