    Shoe Care / Shoe Shine

    It is a solvent dispenser, though it does likely contain water. There are quite a few available, but I think I stumbled upon the same one here: http://www.micro-tools.com/store/item_detail.aspx?itemCode=94017

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    The case is 20" x 12.4" x 7.6". The dimensions are based on a golden rectangle. I have been working on and off since January. The case is hand stitched leather with brass hardware and a plywood support structure. I designed it as a weekend bag (thought it should fit enough for a week) that...

    Affordable, fitted, french cuff shirts.

    I'm glad PF worked out. I personally leave them flat until I am wearing the shirt, and then I just fold them. I figure the cuff should last a bit longer that way.

    Affordable, fitted, french cuff shirts.

    If you don't need it straight away, keep an eye on http://www.paulfredrick.com/ They do carry 14.5, trim fit, spread collar, french cuff shirts, but nothing in solid black at the moment. Or if you are up to it, you could try dying a white shirt black.

    What to do with secure ID lanyards

    Does it have to be a neck lanyard, or just secured to your person via a tether? If it is the latter, you could use a pocketwatch strap in the lapel buttonhole and keep the cards in the upper pocket. You could also opt for a detective style leather credentials case that will keep the primary ID...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    You may want to stop by Tandy or Michaels and buy some leather cement. That should stop the plugs from working their way out again for some time.
