Waiste Belt and Bag
« on: August 10, 2020, 10:05:28 PM »
A blind tooled belt bag and waiste belt with one of my hand crafted, signature steel buckles. The bag has an internal divider, bound flap and entry and rolled welt seaming. The billet strap is cut from the spine, the heel bar buckle is hand stitched to a skived return incorporating a fixed keeper,  is creased, edged, burnished and has a pasted back as well as a running keeper.

  WOW! Fantastic! The buckle alone is worth a post.

Absolutely stunning. Those buckles are great. Everything is so neat and orderly.

Can we please see a pic or two of the inside of the bag, outside ends, and back. Divider with a turned bag is something I've been struggling with in my mind since I 1st tried one. I know what is wrong with how it turns out, but can't figure how to do it any other way.

Thanks for sharing.

Brokennock,  I don't have any of that particular bag but here's a few of an earlier one like it.

Outstanding work James, as usual.  Love the design and the buckle!

Beautiful work James.  I love those tiny details, as well as the design and finish.  Those steel buckles are way over the top in quality.  You are keeping the bar very high.  God bless,  Marc
