Why (only) 8.5% discount? Wouldn't direct sale save you up to 15%?

No quick fix but it can be fixed. You gotta redo the stitch. As for the smell, leave it in the sun for 10 days.

Wouldn't a wood / carpenter glue sort of thing be better than quick bonding glue? Leather tends to react differently to adhesives, especially fast acting ones and I never used any kind of quick polymerization glue that didn't harden the leather, turning it brittle. Even just a little bit will...

Another two places that I joined some two years ago, Discord channels, have a mandatory fit pic & short introduction requirement that the moderators then verify. This doesn't, of course, need to be a proper WAYWT photo & people often upload silly things like their baby photos or photos of pets...
