Quality leather goods education

[WalterK]

There has been quite a bit of questions about quality leather bags and such lately. Prices are all over the place and it seems a bit confusing as to why.

I found this British guy on Youtube that has a series of excellent tutorials geared to leather workers. They are very well done and easy to follow.

I thought you guys might find it interesting.

Thanks for posting. The saddle stitch is stronger than any machine made stitch.

Very interesting - this gentleman has made a number of videos it seems - I watched a few others. Amazing craftsmanship!

I enjoy these videos because you actually learn something. Even if you don't venture into leather work, you can better judge the quality of goods for sale.
