    Guide to Leather Thickness and Buying Leather

    Here’s a great guide guide to leather thickness and buying leather from Tandy Leather Factory showing the different cuts of leather, hide thicknesses, and suitable uses. Bear in mind that these are general guidelines – the actual thickness you choose for your project can vary a bit, depending on what you’re making, how durable you want the product to be, if you’ll be tooling the leather, etc. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/infoandservices/leatherguide/leatherg

    Leather Lunch Tote

    Here’s an interesting and simple leather project to try! It’s a leather lunch tote, constructed out of just 3 pieces of leather with very minimal stitching. As the article notes, you could construct it out of one cross-shaped piece of leather, but using three separate pieces allows for less waste of the larger hide. Even though it’s called a “Leather Lunch Tote”, it might also make a great little power cord case to stow away a bunch of phone charging cables and power cubes. I

    Injection Molded Holster Loops

    Here’s a great video from the folks over at the PhillyEDC YouTube channel. They asked several suppliers to send over a sample pack of their injection molded holster loops for evaluation.  The video below shows a large assortment of clip options in case you’re in the market and need to add clips to your own holster project.  PhillyEDC builds kydex holsters, but there’s no reason these clips can’t be used on leather CCW concealed carry holsters as well. #holsterclips #plastic #
