New in the shop today, which will appear when I open it back up once the postal strike is done,
is "Phat Bastard" - a rather rare and singular piece I highly doubt I'll be able to make again.
Luck of search on this one.. I found a 4" wide braided leather belt. Never seen anything like it before, so I jumped on it, online. Then I took about half a day and made it into one of the most badass straps I've ever made. Particularly if you are a monster big guy, and maybe a bass player!
I don't think this would look right on a skinny dude. You best have a little meat on your bones to wear this one
Some pics:
Because it's fully 4" wide, I opted to NOT pad it. I simply added a braided tail strap with a strong leather pin tab, in my Class act back buckle design, then added a strong leather nose too - adjusts 45-60
The herringbone pattern is just gorgeous! I count 24 individual strands of leather, and none of them were broken - so much badass texture! Leather has been conditioned also.
Again, sorry my friends... store remains closed for now, but there will be a nice load of new things in waiting in there once I open 'er up.
