It's when I get letters like these, I realize by just creating something unique and original it makes it totally worth all the effort I put into my straps.
These customer comments are just a brief snippet of the thousands of  emails I have received over the years.
They have been copied / pasted and are completely untouched.
Thank you for all your feedback I really appreciate it.

PLEASE Note! That I have bribed all these people to say something half decent about my straps.
I apologize if YOUR! letter is not here.

Thank you Shane for everything, your time skill and two awesome straps.

How fuckin' cool is that!!!! When looking at that strap, George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" starts magically playing in my head as background music!

Hello Shane finally got my straps from customs phew!!! I thought for sure they where going to keep them forever :), odd thing really is you would think they could XRAY! the package and see for sure what was inside, oh well better late than not at all, thats what I say lol.
Anyways I opened up the package and wow, the smell was awesome and your work even more awesome, I am so super pleased thank you.
Warm regards

Hi Mr Shane
Straps landed very very cool :), all i can say is you have extraordinary skills sir, and i could not be more pleased with them, thank you my good fellow.
Colin Dexter. USA.

Dear Shane,

I got your package today. The strap looks rugged yet chic! The surface is amazing and has this seasoned look. The sides are perfect! The stitching is immaculate and neatly glued. I liked the semi-circular stitching detail around the buckle tongue! The leather even smells so good. Your close attention to detail is astounding! This is a masterpiece! I also enjoyed opening your multi layered packaging consisting of your paper wrapping, inner bubble padding, Ziploc bag  and outer envelope which really helped retain the condition of the strap. Lastly, I even noticed how you cleverly taped the inner bag to the insides of the cardboard envelope(so that the inner bag was more secure and would not drop out or be yanked out by somebody else)! I salute you. You are the man! I will gladly recommend you to others who have yet to hear about your creations. Let me know if you ever drop by to this neck of the woods!     

 

Thank you Sir,

Alan Lau.

Dear Shane
 
Just recieved my straps!! they are wonderful in every aspect, very cool indeed I especially like the Agent strap, that is so unique with the two tone colour.
 
Thank you sir your skill is very impressive to say the least, and I am certain these will not be the last i shall have you make for me.
 
All the best
Stephen D Matthews, Nuneaton UK.

Hello Mr Delaurian

My wonderful strap arrived in yesterdays mail, it is so brilliantly made I'm totally flabergasted. to be honest with you it is much better than I ever expected it to be, or even could be for that matter, now I know first hand why your straps are in such high demand.

Yours sincerely

 Reginald Linch. Berea South Africa.    

Hey Shane

straps arrived on Thursday GREAT!!!! all I can say is they are magnificent, and well worth the wait, thank you.

Ernest.

Mr Delaurian

Finally arrived all ship shape, and they are wonderful, your the master of your craft, and incredibly skilled, your a visionary in what you do, and I am proud to wear these straps, your quality is unsurpassed, as far as I'm concerned there is only one worthy of the strapmaking crown.

A real pleasure doing business with you.

Thanks again for your willingness to take my project on sir.

Sincerely

Dave G Sutton. Hereford, UK. 

 

Hi Shane Just wanted to let you no I got the strap and I'm so amazed at how awesome and very soft it is, it reminds me of something made by an engineer!!!!!! seriously all tight tolerances no slopiness, just perfect.

you blow me away brother, your a pure genius and a credit to strapmaking, no one builds or designs a strap like you do, absolutely incredible.Thank you.

Graham.


Hi Shane,

Just letting you know that the strap i got off you the other week (Titan) is the ducks guts, fits the M7 perfectly!!!

Anyway i was wondering if you could do some sort of way cool design for another Lum-Tec that i have?
At the moment its on OEM rubber and its just not my thing.
Im thinking maybe something dark with blue accents, or i may be totally wrong with whatever you may suggest?
(it's 26mm)
I would probably be looking at something around 145/75.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Mike, NZ.

Mr shane

just got my strap and it is installed already,.  it's a remarkable work of art thats for sure, and surprisingly it does lift the watch up like you said it would WOW!!

Thank you sir

Ray

Mr Delaurian 
My pilot strap is fantastic, you captured the essence and spirit of the watch but with your own twist ,now that I really like, how you managed to make something along the lines of my requirements yet make it so unique too is simply amazing,I like that special Delaurian touch.
 
D L.
Washington, DC. USA.
 
 
 
It arrived  it's alive haha, this is the best I own Shane! really quite an incredible strap sort of an enigma or one of those Chinese puzzles, still can't figure out how you managed to stitch those fixed keepers? and keep it so tight. I think that's what makes you so different, you invent some great straps and the detail is beyond my expectations.
Very nice trading with you, will not be the last either.
Best wishes.
 
Aston. 
 
 
Hi Mr. Delaurian this is Glenn. I recieved the watch strap that you made for me, it was absolutely beautiful. I would like you to make me another one in black with white stitching, with red stitching along the tip. (24/24 mm 145/95 long 6 mm thick) and please add your name long the side in tan.
 
Thank you for a very good product, I have imformed my brothers and friends to prurchase your watch straps.
 
Thank you
Glenn Wooten
 
Hi Shane

Dear Shane
 
I'm glad you talked me into having the strap made thinner, you nailed it to perfection, and i see what you meant now about the thickness, on reflection i really think it would have been over kill as you mentioned, so great call on that, anyhoo you did an awesome job and i am very very pleased thanks much.
Glen.
 
Hello again Mr Shane!

Sammy USA.
 
Dear Shane
just to let you know they arrived safe and sound :) and they both fit perfectly, I'm totally amazed with Susan's strap that is so incredible, she was speachless, can you make her one a week , the silence in the house is great lmao, seriously she is super pleased, sorry mine was just a plain one, I guess I am not as adventurous as her. I bet you would much rather do the artsy ones, either way you have made two fine straps and we are both  happy campers sir.
 
Sincerely Michael & Susan Weyer.
 
Shane
I cannot believe how you do what you do my friend my guitar strap is flawless so so crisp and clean  the same for my matching watch strap I thought my idea was impossible, but not for the talented Delaurian though.
your workmanship Shane is unreal and very unique.
 
Thank you
Brett USA.
 
Hi Shane,
I received my new Titan strap a few weeks ago the green is perfect.  I wanted to let you know as soon as I could that it fitted my Invicta lupah perfectly. 
I have been wearing it every day and it is incredibly comfortable. I have alway had watch straps and bracelets and they rubbed on my wrist and were really irritating after awhile.
This is the most comfortable and well made strap I have ever owned.  To be sure, I will be back
again! 
Keep up this amazing work!

Hi Shane,
 
Good news, the strap has arrived safely and I'm beaming ear to ear. Absolutely beautiful! I've got half a dozen hand made straps which I thought were the bees knees, but yours is in a different class of its own. You were right it is a gorgeous dark brown and extremely flexible and comfortable the orrange stitching gives it a zesty zing and it looks stunning on my Luminor 111.
Thanks a million it was well worth the wait.
 
Cheers,
 
Have a great 2009!

My man "PURE GENIUS" what more can I say?
 
Thanks so much.
Frank. 

Hello Shane,
 
I wanted to confirm that the strap arrived yesterday. I love the leather! 
 
My girlfriend--who knows a thing or two about sewing--took a look at this recent strap and was blown away by your work.  She said that people don't put so much effort into their work.  She said that your straps "ooze quality".  I showed her your website and some of your creations and she said that you are a true artist in every sense of the word.
 
As always, I am honored to be wearing one of your straps.  There is no going back now!
 
Respectfully, George

Shane
The BASTARD!!!!! struck again
Simply amazing quality and attention to detail, your the  baddest mother****** at what you do Bro.
 
Justin.
 

 Shane
Art arrived today brother, and they are the sickest straps out there man, Luv'em , your the best.
Peace out Bro.
Nolan.
 
I just received the strap.  What a thing of beauty!  I couldn't be more pleased.  The work and look are simply outstanding.  I would like you for your time and effort on this little project.  The care put into it is obvious, and your suggestion on the hide was perfect.  Again, I couldn't be happier.  Thank you for your open communication through this process, and once again for your time.
 
Shane R.
Hi Shane
 
all I can say is WOW, the strap is fantastic and by far the best I own, you are a legend in the strap world, and rightly so, craftmanship is second to none, I am so very pleased with my purchase from you, Thank you.
 
Joseph.
 
Hi Shane!!
Sorry this email is so late, I've been out of town and email has been down. I LOVE MY STRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No stitching was the way to go, what a quality piece of craftsmanship! GREAT JOB. I am so happy I found you, the best by far!  Couldn't be more pleased, It fits perfectly on the last hole and the tail is the perfect length, just as ordered. Here are some pics on my pam187.

Shane
  Are you for real???   I can't believe how GREAT the strap is.  It is 100 times more than I asked for or expected.  I asked for a little flag and you did  full piece of art on the strap. I can't say enough THANKS.
           Many thanks and I am thinking about my next Delaurian

Hey Shane,

I just picked up the strap.........OMG.......I have never seen a strap this PERFECT in every way. Your workmanship is unbelievable. The new easy glide system is spectacular. The quality of the leather is  the best I have ever seen.. The only thing that isn't so good is.....How can I wear all my inferior straps now????????? Speak to you soon, my friend :)

Cheers,
Steve

I have been thinking about a couple more straps and would like to go the Delarian route, as that now is a no brainer for me , can you make me a Hi Jacker but in a 22mm? and also a regular one for a 22mm? shoot me a price, and I shall pay ASAP.
 
Thanks again Shane
regards from the UK.
David.
 

Hello Shane
 
I just wanted to say that you where the first custom strapmaker in the world that stepped outside the box, and started the crazy design thing, and I notice daily how some of the newbies are just copying you,trying to jump on the bandwagon I guess, Nothing Original there lol. 
 
Your the Godfather of creativity in the strap industry Shane, make no doubts about that, I see what you mean by the Immitation thing now, like sheep ha ha ha really they are.  
 
God bless you Sir
as always suprememly impressed by your workmanship.

Bonjour Mr bastard of the strap World!
I put off buying a strap from you for way too long, i'm glad i finaly did because the strap is incredible, the Hijacker is the shit, and  you sir are one talented mofro , and i say that with all respect, i was flawed with the  design and the quality just blew me away.
 
Now i have one of your straps , believe me i will be getting  rid of my others so i can add more of  yours to my strap ensemble.
 
Thank you Shane.
 Kind regards
 
Eddy  M.

Quick letter to let you know that my straps arrived in PERFECT condition they are fantastic beyond what I ever thought was possible in a strap , but you did it, your a MASTER Mr Delaurian ! far beyond anything or anyone  else out there.
 
I respect Artisans of high calibre, and you definitely have my complete respect for your craft.
 
Kind regards
M Decker.
 

Hi Shane,
 
I got the strap!  It looks, feels, and smells awesome!  There is nothing like the aroma of good leather.  Just like when you are a kid and get your first good baseball glove..  :)  You sized it perfect for my wrist & this watch. Nice touch with the Ball Fireman on the side!  I'm glad I went with the small buckle, it fits the look of the watch...  I'll be posting a bunch of photos on WUS later!
 
Thanks!
 
Brian

Aloha Shane

I bet you are a very busy person and the strap world has been good to you because IMHO you are the best.  Everyone else that makes strap can make straps but you make STRAPS

You're the boss on this one.  Just tell me the cost and I will send you the funds and if it ends up being more time consuming I can send more...

What kind of leather is that gnarly looking stuff ?   Mahalo Bernie

Delaurians in the house wahoo!
landed safely this morning. . . .and man the High jacker is perfection does exactly what you said it would.
Gotta tell ya Shane you have done more for the strap industry than any other person on the planet combined, I see almost everyone copying your designs now but your light years ahead of them all, keep up the incredible designs sir, I really need another! so does Julie for her Tag.
 
God Bless you Shane
Pierce & Julie.

Gorgeous mate.

Once again, I am humbled by you.

Thanks for everything.

All my best,

Robin . 

Shane

Today is a happy day , I'm now  in Club DeLaurian lol.
 
Warm regards and many thanks.
Earl .
 

Shane,

your strap is better than I expected.....in fact...I think it is one of the
nicest straps I have ever seen or worn.

I have enclosed a crappy pic so you get an idea of how it looks ( I need to
take a basic photography class). It's also hard to capture the dial color on
the 228.

Is there any chance you can make another blue strap but with luminova
stitch?  I think that might look sharp on my 228..lots of lume on the GMT...

Thanks again for a marvelous strap.

Warmest Regards,
Ron

Dear Shane
Strap arrived today , and I love it, the light brown is phenominal and the quality is AWESOME!! (its a Delaurian lol) thank you so much Shane, simply great great work.
 
Regards  
Patrick.
Hi Shane,

My strap arrived in the mail today...and it is GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much, Shane!

I knew that the strap was going to look fabulous...how could it not? It's a Delaurian!

What I didn't expect, was that the strap was going to have the exact color and texture that I was dreaming of...and the off-white thread is exactly what I was hoping for! Shane, you're a mind reader!
 
Thank you for this gorgeous custom strap!

Take care, my friend.

Geoff

Hey Shane
 
Strap arrived today buddy!!!  Unbelievable your without a doubt, in my mind the BEST strapmaker EVER!! your easy glide is simply amazing, and I'm now the proud owner of a genuine bastard strap lol.

the Easy glider is the bomb.
 
take care strap God yeah!!!
Jimmy
 
Shane --
The straps arrived today.  Wow.  Put the black one on my SMG immediately.
It is incredible, comfortable already, but I know it will be even better
once the leather breaks in and softens.  I can't wait to get the tan one on
as well.  Now I am looking for another 22mm lug width watch so I can use
both of them.  You are talented.  One quick question, will getting these wet
bother them at all?  If I know I will be going swimming, I will get the
watch on the incoming bracelet or a rubber strap, just curious.
Thanks again.
Matt

Hi Mr D
I received the straps today and all I can say is your workmanship is second to none,you run a first class act and I'm very happy indeed with my (Bastard of the strap world ) straps, I love that title you have hehe .
 
 Kind regards.
Vance.
 
 
 
 

Easy glide in the house my friend!  YEAH , its incredible/ fantastic quality , your the strap  Master.
 
Anthony D.
 

Hey Shane
Both straps landed this afternoon: your EASY~GLIDE strap  is the coolest thing I have ever seen, and without any shadow of a doubt I now see why  you are the KING of straps, you certainly have made a huge impact on the strap world, good for you TU:.
 
Thanks again Shane, fantastic workmanship, I shall be back.
Graham

Shane
Got the strap and it  rules, I have never seen anything like it in my life, Your F***ing insane man,and the quality is beyond bad a$$ too, cannot say enough good sh*t  about it brother, I love it.
 
Regards
Terry.
 

Hi Shane,

I just wanted to let you know that the straps for my GO arrived safely yesterday.  Upon opening the package, I was reminded of one very important thing…this is EXACTLY why you are my absolute favorite strapmaker.  These aren’t just straps, they are truly works of art.  I am seriously tempted to send photos to Glashutte Original with a note that says, this is what your OEM straps SHOULD be like!  They are so perfect with this watch, finally, it feels proportionately correct!  And you captured that “historic” feel perfectly.  To say I love these is an understatement.  Attached is a few pics for you to see how incredible it looks on this watch.

Thanks for everything Shane.  You’re amazing!!!

David

 

 

 

Mr Bastardo LOL
Damn bro I was not sure what to expect really, but on opening up the package I see now something special and I am aware of why your straps are HOT,I can also see the workmanship that you do is out of this World, all I can say is your incredible.
Thanks and kind regards.
James
I'm in the Delaurian club now!!!!! Yeah baby!!!!.

Hi Shane
Received the straps today mate, and I'm blown away my friend, every time you make me a strap they just get better each time, is there no end to your talents?
Anyway mate Thanks again for the superb pieces.
I will be back again.
D M.

 

 

Greetings again Shane.

I wanted to thank you very much for the strap.  To say it is a work of art would be an unfair understatement.  I had planed on using this strap on my Ocean 7 watch.  Now that I have it in my hands, I feel that it deserves to be on a watch of higher caliber.  I am planning on purchasing my first Panerai, and will place it on that watch instead.  If you would like, I will e-mail you a picture of it when it arrives.

I also plan on purchasing a couple more, since this band is so nicely madeThank you again for all of your hard work!

Kind regards

Frank.

 

 

hello shane
they came today and I am very very impressed with your work, I have  many straps from all the usual suspects and yours are by far the cream of the crop,best quality by far.
thank you for your amazing work,. I now understand why your so busy.
 
Gaz
 

Mr D
Your straps are F**king outstanding is all I can say.
 
Thanks again
Lou 

Hi Shane
Straps arrived this afternoon, you are quite simply the best there is, I have so many straps from others that are comfortable, but none have that originality and attention to detail, quite like yours, Thank you I shall be back.
Regards
Paul.
 
 

Hi mate

Got the 2 killer straps today - superb indeed!

In fact, if that C.A. 1884-1900 (120 year old) " Benskins" strap is still
available then I'll have that cracker too.

Speak soon

matt

Dear Shane
arrived today very fast, and I love them both, the tattoo strap is incredible, amazing the thickness and still is soft, you are the strap genius, thanks
Linden.
Shane
It came today thank you,Fantastic in everyway,this is an incredible strap my friend, you really are The strap Wizard there is no doubt.
regards
Colin.
I would like to order 3 more if you have time?(same size as before)let me know.
 
 
 
 

Hi Shane
I just wanted to let you know that now my strap is worn in, it has that PATINA you promised it would get, I love it, you are a true craftsman Sir.
Thank you so much for your patience.
Henry

Dear Shane
I received all 4 straps today, and i love them all, the tan and the Boot leather are my favorites, the quality is the best i have seen and the detail is what makes your straps the best.
Thank you.
Kristen.
 
 

Hi Shane,

I received the Leather strap today. All I can say is that strap you built is one brute of a strap with all the attention to detail that it could get.

The craftsmanship is amazing and the measurements are right on the money. I installed it on my Breitling and it looks sweeeeeet.

The strap really goes well with the watch. Also the leather color keeps changing as its bent. The watch I bought this strap for is my grail watch and hopefully the strap and the watch will give me lots of years of service.



Once again, Shane - Thanks and "YOU DA MAN!!!!"

Regards,
Sunny

Hi Shane
theres a lot of strapmakers out there, that I have bought from but there not even in your league, your a class act sir Thank you..
Brett.

Hi Shane,
Just wanted to let you know the strap arrived yesterday.  First let me tell you that I own lots of straps by all the makers you can think of.  Now I must tell you that your strap is to date the best strap I own.  It is immediately apparent that you are a perfectionist, because this strap is perfect in every way.  The leather is incredible and comfortable, the vintage look perfected, the choice of keepers fantastic, the stitching precise, even the "X" stitch on the back of the large keeper...the attention to detail is obvious and there is nothing about this strap that I don't absolutely love.  I won't even get into how lightning quick I received it after placing my order!

Well, as you can see, I haven't been this excited about a strap in a while!  I had wanted a Shane Delaurian strap for a long time and was just trying to decide what kind as your talents are so broad, it was difficult to narrow it down to one!  Clearly I'm thrilled with the choice, but I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again for my future strap needs.

Many thanks again and kind regards,

David.

Dear Mr Delaurian
I have bought many a strap over the years and I have always felt a little dissapointed with the overall quality, although I love the straps I have bought they really do not have what yours do, and that is the detail, I am looking at your straps now and it is apparent that your a perfectionist, because even the underside is picture perfect, RARE as most of my strap collection from the Top Guys and Girl makers always seem so unfinished and rough, anyway I sincerely appreciate all your efforts with what you made for me , they are magnificent.
Thank you Sir.
With kind regards
Gregory L Palmer.
 
 

Dear Shane
Got both straps today 11th WOW,I am sure you have heard this before , but I must say it,you are the Leather strap God, there is no ifs or buts about it, I could not possibly  be happier with your artistic talent and creative skill.
Roland.
 

Shane
Keep up the phenominal work, you are a Wizard with straps, No one can touch you Sir, I feel honored to own one of your works of art.
Thanx
P McCartney

Hello Shane
I got the straps today and they are wicked , I love the details and the quality is the best, I will be back very soon.

Shane

Dear Shane
Under close inspection of my strap you made for me, I really am rather amazed at the quality and detail you placed in it, it truly is quite  remarkable and very very comfortable.
I would like to thank you for your professionalism and skill, and the treatment you gave me from the very beginning, it is a rare thing these days to find such fantastic craftsmanship by an artisan such as yourself, that also has such Integrity, you are a fine young gentleman, and I will with out a doubt be doing business with you again in the very near future.
Thanks again
F Forsyth. 

OMFG!...Shaney my man; your pure f*****g GENIUS, this strap rocks, best out there, DA BEST.
THX.

Shane.
I received my new custom strap today, it's amazing truly a work of art, magnificent you are an exceptional craftsman, that in todays world is quite rare.
Many of my Co workers that have seen it, have remarked on how perfect it looks, and naturally I'm quite biased & proud of what you have made for me.
So I thank you again for a job well done.
Regards Peter G Blankenship.

Shane Sir
I wanted to let you know that your strap arrived in perfect condition and very finely made, I could not be happier with it, I cannot wait to wear it on my new watch, it's so exciting.
Good luck on your move too.
 

Hi Shane-

I received my very rugged strap today, the one you built for my Marathon
SAR.  It looks killer.  I just found out it will also fit onto my Doxa....
that brown will look kick ass with the orange face on my SUB750T Pro.  Not
to mention that it will also fit onto my Omega Speedmaster Pro, too!
Shane, I have to tell you... the leather work is fantastic.  I have
collected fine hunting knives for years and years now.  One of the great
things about fine hunting knives is that there are two parts to the package.
You have the knife... and you have the leather.  Half of the time the thing
that makes a really sweet hand built knife sink or swim is the leather.  I
have come to appreciated good leather, and I want to thank you for the work
you put into my strap.  It is premium stuff.   I love the skull on the
keeper.  Trademark cool.

I hope we can do more business down the line.

Have a great 4th of July-

Tom Robb

Hi Shane,
I just received the strap. Wow!  It is perfect!  What outstanding quality and workmanship.  It is exactly the look that I wanted for my Seal.  A nice rugged all business high quality strap. Thank you very much.  You can be sure that you will see more of my business in the future. I do have a couple of questions about my new strap.  Is it waterproof, (not a big issue I am just curious), and what is the best way to clean it?  Thank you again for the first class treatment and good luck on your move across the pond.
Regards,
Greg

Greetings Shane,
 
I wanted to let you know the Zilla strap arrived in good order Friday afternoon.  I am extremely pleased with everything about it.  It's fits just as it should.  I have put saddle soap and Dr Martens Wonder Balm on it during the weekend and it is starting to break in nicely.  It is very comfortable, even being new and a little stiff.  It is everything I hoped it would be and I want to thank you for being such a gentleman and great craftsman throughout the process.  I could not be happier with the strap and service.
 
Take care and continued good luck with your business and home refurbishment in France.
 
With best regards and immense respect,
 
 
Larry

Mr Delaurian
what  amazes me about you  is each strap you make is different and unique; unlike the straps I see on the  *****isti they are ALL the same all copies of each other ,God  I hate that place.
Anyway just wanted to let you know I got them and I will  definitely be back thank you.
 
Martin.
 
 

Hi Shane,
 
Just wanted to let you know that I'm one very happy customer today!
Got the strap earlier this week but due to different circumstances did not have the opportunity to try it out with the S`BBN011 until yesterday evening.
Been wearing the combo all day today and it is just perfect IMO!
 
And not only am I happy with your product, it's been a very good experience overall to do business with you.
How you manage to deliver as fast as you do and be so quick in returning email is beyond me, but I really appreciate it.
 
I'll attach a few pics so you can see for yourself how the strap looks on the watch.
 
I'll definately be back for more!
 
Cheers
/Stefan

Shane: the straps arrived Friday: they're great!  Just what I was
thinking, simple leather straps like on those old panerai divers.
Now I've to go pick a watch to fit on them: the 24mm is easy, my panny
111F.
thanks again.

Hi Shane,
The strap came yesterday but I havn't had a chance to take photos of it.  It's beautifull and everything I expected.  Thanks a lot for making it and getting it to me so fast.  I was thinking it would take at least 2 weeks but you got it to me in 3 days.  Outstanding quality and service.  Unfortunately, I'm going to have to buy a new watch worthy of the "Shane D." strap. ;D
 
Best regards,
Darrell Holmes

Shane
Oooh its here, just got it today Thank you.

Shane my friend
I got it today Wow that was quick, man I rushed to the PO because I missed this afternoons mail I was bummed out until I opened the pakage, YOU are a MASTER strapmaker, I was expecting good, but I had no idea it would be this nice, I'm amazed and very happy with what you have done for me, Quality is fantastic far beyond what I thought it would be.
Tell me how did you do the edges?  I have dabbled in some leatherwork myself but with very little success, any tips would be appreciated.
Well my friend just thought I would let you know,that you are a Genius with leather.
Julian.
