Golden Tooling Strap Leather - Product Review

Golden Tooling Strap Leather - Product Review
I wanted to try out the Golden color from Chahin's Vegetable Tanned Strap Leather and make a bag with it. Having worked with it on this project I thought i'd share my feelings on the leather and let you decide if it would be good for your projects.

[@maryfrederickson9400]

I lived in Mexico for many years and used their leathers for bookbinding! Wonderful leathers (goat leather)! Now using other of Mexican leathers and really appreciate their quality.

[@Mharville]

Trying to think of a couple quick "tests" or demos if this becomes a thing. Some durability/stretch/dye/stain etc.

[@Countrylivinhistory]

ALD is my go to for most of my leather

[@davidshorb7453]

I'm hooked on their southwest collection

[@davidshorb7453]

And the sales are incredible

[@Countrylivinhistory]

@@davidshorb7453 I havent used the southwest collection yet that is one I want to try I usually go for there holster strap

[@bagramdave883]

I fell in love with the pecan pull up. If you want to make a weekender that looks like it costs $1100, this is the stuff

[@bagramdave883]

ALD has business pricing that goes WAY beyond a 10 or 15 percent. I’m talking $60-80 on a single hide. And, if you’re active duty, Reserve or Veteran they will give you the business pricing. It’s hard for me to afford to shop anywhere else

[@Stevieboy7]

For something like this I think it would be best as a comparison. How does it compare to other vegtan hides easily accessible to americans? Price, temper, colour, consistency, backside, etc.

[@robertduguay689]

Great video would love to see more like it. I am new to the craft and from what I have watched on KZbin information on the leather of what’s being made is really missing. Also we see a lot of reviews on equipment but not on leather like you just did. Thanks for what you do. I agree the color of that leather or bag is gorgeous.

[@hank-d7e]

I sent you a cool message on instagram @perform4nce_design. Love your videos;)

[@jesusbarragan3386]

Hey were did you get your cutting mat that has 1”x1” squares I purchased mine for a vinyl shop that closed down an I need to replace it

[@TexHoss1]

Get some gum tragacanth & put it on that billet strap & rub it in with w wood slicker. It will help. get rid of that feathering for you.

[@davidshorb7453]

Love ALD. I have gotten the russet strap leather and burgundy harness and loved it. Just received aan order of camp green and desert sunset from their southwest collection and it looks and feels amazing. Can't wait to cut into it.

[@jakestrickland1323]

Thank you for having such such to earth videos for those of us just starting out. I've been doing this just under a year and your videos have helped with equipment, tools, and leather sources

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Great Video, you explained it quite well, I will have 2 try them next time I order leather, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@Countrylivinhistory]

Jim Athney there a great group to work with I love there leather yes I have had some with some issues like he was talking but nine times out of ten I get some great pieces

[@michaelwolf8781]

What brand knife is this? That’s a beefy beast 😄

[@juliangonzales2916]

Excelente👍👍👍

[@blueshirtmonday]

Hard to buy leather online . . . No kidding! I don't have anywhere real close to buy leather so everything I've bought has been online. I love this content! Keep it up Parker!

[@foraneoleathergoods]

Hey Parker! Thanks for the heads up brother. Have you tried their bridle? Im trying it right now, good stuff so far... Your sides look way looser than what I got from them... weird. Maybe is the strap? who knows...

[@siham7010]

Why you make bags expecially this one with vegtan? After aging it will look so terrible in my experience and offcourse everyne has it's own taste. But want to know about your decision behind this. And why don't you use chrome tan leather for bags?

[@tomkilcullen5421]

You sure you're not from Lehi. Only kidding. It's hard to grade leather when we expect the best for our hard earned cash. Cows aren't perfect and neither are we. When you sell high end products sometimes you have to reach a little bit deeper in your pocket. Blessings on you guys,be safe and stay healthy. As ever just Tom.

[@whitandpark]

haha not sure I get the Lehi joke. But no, i don't expect perfection out of the leather we use. I'm well aware of the general nature of leather in general. I'm only comparing it to the leather we normally use (Wickett and craig) and since the price is about the same, it's worth talking about. And likewise, stay healthy!

[@tomkilcullen5421]

@@whitandpark the Lehi statement is to let you know that some of the largest entrepreneurs have come out of Lehi. Meaning you're on the right track. Keep up the good work and if I can get someone to help me figure out my lap top I'll purchase two of your patterns. Again blessings on ya boy.

[@MountainFisher]

Shaheen or actually Chahin is a leather I'm familiar with, it is a tannery in Mexico and they use American hides. It had the same issues as you're running into, especially the dryness. The double shoulders I had were very dry and like your piece it also had some loose areas. I made belts out of it and they turned out all right, but I definitely had to use conditioner on it before I sealed it. I don't much like burnishing the flesh side because of its hairy nature. I bought it at Weaver Leather Supply. They offer it with a pasted back too at decent prices.

[@jerryduncan1585]

I ordered from them. Me personally I probably won't again. Weaver leather is supposed to open up a show room sometime this spring. I'm going to ride up and check it out.

[@jeffharnack154]

Keep up the great vids. I would like to see you rate them.. it would help when I go to buy, since it's hard to tell how good it is, especially if it is the first time buying from that company

[@FatManLeather]

I've used lots of different veg tan leather over the years and I've found that the "looser" hides or parts of hides are harder to cut and harder to skive in general.

[@darringauthier5568]

I tell people that everything I make usually has some kind of different texture since every piece of leather comes from a different animal I am not totally new to this but it sure can feel like I am. I seem to buy a lot of leather from Tandy on Black Friday LOL Thanks for all the great information

[@maxwright9909]

I would love to see sides from different places. Leather guys artisan choice in particular.

[@lykosleather7515]

Use "Leather Balm Atom Wax" on the inside loose sections of leather to increase your yield. I always avoid leather with loose grain but sometimes it happens and Atom wax works surprisingly well.

[@deardagger]

Man you've been cranking out some serious amount of videos lately 👌

[@larryschmidt3594]

Good info for all of us starting out and needing to know what to look at and how if affects your project.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Good information. Thanks 😊!!
