Some recent bags

[James Rogers]

Made of vegetable tanned horsehide. The belt is cowhide and the buckle is a tinned steel handmade by me. The buttons are by Ward Oles and copied off of originals.

[Mike Lyons]

Those are nice!!

[Tim Crosby]

 Really neat looking, Great work. Are the buttons functional?

[James Rogers]

Tim, thanks.  The buttons are functional and historical in keeping the flap down  but the cords actually close the body.

Tim, thanks.  The buttons are functional and historical in keeping the flap down  but the cords actually close the body.

 Thanks, for some reason I was thinking that the cords were game hanger.

Do you make those brass buttons, or are they commercially available?

The bags themselves are gorgeous, and very well made.

[James Rogers]

Thanks, the buttons were hand made by Ward Oles.
A buddy helped me out of a bind as I was out of them and needed a few more until my current order arrived ; )

More fine art masquerading as leather bags.  :-)  Up to your usual excellent standards sir.  I like the contrast of the pale stitching on the dark bags.  I know that pale caramel color has to be a beast to create though.  Thank you for sharing.  And yes, I did catch the tiny fine tooling on the belt keeper.  Nice.  God Bless,   Marc

[James Rogers]

Thanks Marc. Unfortunately there is no art in my veins ; )
You're right about the lighter color. Takes some patience.

[B.Barker]

Nice bags James. Did you use vegetable tan leather to make them with?

[James Rogers]

Brian, Thanks and yes, all components are vegetable tanned. The buckle is one of my manufacture in tinned steel.

James, if that is your shop in the background of those photos I am really impressed.  No wonder you do such nice bags.

[snapper]

Those bags are very nice.

Your shop is too clean, you need more to do and less time to do it in.

Perhaps I will clean on my shop more this week.

Thanks guys. Yes I try to keep my leather shop fairly clean. I give it a go over after each project. It just took me three days over the weekend to get my gun shop in enough order to put some barrels in wood though  : )

Makes you want to don a kilt. Very nice, James. Thanks for posting.
