leather suspenders build

[@280zone]

Nice job Kevin, I don't think you give yourself enough credit, I think they come out great and can appreciate the way you tackle each project and you filming is very well done as well.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you 280zone.

[@olligator22]

For your first time, you did one Hell of a job!! I'd buy them from you in a flash!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

thank you

[@TheWoodHaven]

That's about the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I bet you would pay a fortune for those at the store. Those are perfect.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Not sure what they would cost but it was a fun build thanks Daryl.

@@Robinson-Homestead Those Are Nice And What About Some Custom Made Belts, Is That Something, You Would Consider At Some Point In Time??

[@lauraweiss7875]

Nice job both in figuring out the pattern and in executing the finished product. I would suggest doing all your dyeing and slicking before you assemble (as you mention toward the end). I just made a few dog leashes and learned a whole bunch of “redo” lessons in the process. Looking forward to seeing more leather projects from you. :)

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That is true , i will do that first next time, thanks for watching.

[@Tryin2FlyII]

Hi Kevin Hey those things turned out really nice buddy!! Opens up a lot of possibilities & started me thinking ( like you always seem to do lol) I really like the look of them as well. I wear suspenders too but I like the ones that have 2 clips on the back - Take care my friend and as Always Two Thumbs Up Sir!!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Rosario you going to build a set?

[@Tryin2FlyII]

@@Robinson-Homestead I would like too but I have so many other hobbies and unfinished projects that I might have to wait lol

[@james2592OldLeatherSmith]

OLD Leather Smith here, i believe U did A GREAT JOB. Since it's been 4 years I bet U would do it differently. Suggestions, NEVER STITCH ACROSS ONLY LENGTH, when U stitch across U create a perforation, U would be surprised at all the belt buckles I have fixed whern that stitch is used. On your buckles a ROLLER BUCKLE WOULD WORK MUCH SMOOTHER. Just suggesting. Gods BLESSINGS ✝️🥎🙃

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you so much, i am always open to suggestions and appreciate you watching.

[@Hatch61]

Those really turned out great, you really couldn't buy any better. I'm sure you will get years of use. I use a pair that I got from Duluth Trading that clip on the sides. Thanks for inviting us over, be well my friend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Hatch they have been working out great.

Man oh man, those are nice! Hope y'all are keeping healthy. This is my least favorite time of year with all the snowbirds that come down here for the winter so we keep pretty busy. I'll catch up on your videos soon.

Very very good and I love it, thanks 🙏

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I'm glad you like it thanks for the comment Mostafa Hag.

[@stevehampton6026]

They look great! A coat hanger suspended from the ceiling t hook the straps when sewing would keep them out of your way. I would skive the ends to fit them more smoothly

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Great idea!!

[@stevehampton6026]

Kevin, you inspired me to craft a pair. Just finished them and they turned out great. I tooled a barbed wire pattern in them.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

@@stevehampton6026 awesome thanks for the comment.

[@SandMDOTCOM1]

Like the video and nice work! I am about to build the same but instead of rivets I will use Chicago screws and a brass ring in the back for the three sections to link to. Hopefully they will look as nice as yours!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I'm sure they will look great this was my first time they are okay thanks for the comment good luck.

[@tonyd287]

[@stevedingman474]

I love these! I am 6’4” and no butt also , I’m so broad in chest and wide at shoulders I may double the width on the over the shoulder and in the front stuff so it don’t look like thread 🧵 suspenders lol 😂

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment Steve.

[@codyscott1682]

I do leather crafting myself but I've never made a set of these yet. What are the measurements for these?

[@wilsonmiller1903]

To make stitching way easier, get John James size 00 saddlers harness needles.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Wilson

[@davidbratcher9822]

What weight leather did you use? Nice work

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think it's 6 7

6 or 7 thanks for the comment.

where do you get your big pieces of leather?

Tandy Leather Tom.

[@GunnyArtG]

I like 'em

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you my friend.

[@bentnickel7487]

Your skills are top notch, but three things I noticed. Now this is ONLY my opinion. I think the straps should be twice as wide. At the top where the straps go over the shoulder, there should be a thick cushioned piece. For years I carried a camera bag and I learned a cushioned strap distributes the weight more comfortably. Third, I think those are attached to your belt loops and on my jeans the loops are poorly attached and break in no time. Perhaps leather loops with a rivet, sewed onto the pants. Certainly, a fine, fine first pair !!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Beth nickel all good points.

[@bentnickel7487]

Way back, I remember Grand dad used to call them Galluses. The British, always have to be different and call them braces.
